🔴 Manchester United confirm pre-match tribute for David de Gea ahead of Old Trafford return.

 

Manchester United have officially confirmed that a special pre-match presentation will be held in honour of David de Gea this Saturday, as the legendary goalkeeper returns to Old Trafford for the first time since departing the club in 2023.

 

De Gea, who spent 12 memorable years at United, will be welcomed back by a full house as the Red Devils face off in their final pre-season clash before the new campaign. The tribute will take place just before kick-off, with club officials, former teammates, and fans coming together to recognise the Spaniard’s incredible contribution.

 

During his time at United, De Gea made 545 appearances, won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League, and was named the club’s Player of the Year a record four times. Widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the club’s history, his departure left a major void both on and off the pitch.

 

Club CEO Omar Berrada said: “David de Gea is a true Manchester United icon. This weekend offers the perfect opportunity for the club and fans to show their appreciation for everything he gave us.”

 

The tribute is expected to feature a video montage of his greatest saves, on-pitch acknowledgment, and a presentation from club legends.

 

Supporters have already taken to social media to express excitement about the tribute, with chants and banners expected to greet De Gea on his emotional return.

 

This homecoming will mark a fitting reunion between United and a player who embodied loyalty, professionalism, and world-class talent for over a decade. Expect a spine-tingling reception from the Old Trafford faithful. 👏❤️🧤
