JAKARTA - David de Gea has been expelled from Manchester United. As of July 1, 2023, his contract expires at Old Trafford. There is no agreement in the application for a new contract.

The Spanish goalkeeper is unemployed, agent-free. Two transfer windows, summer and winter, just missed.

De Gea spent approximately a year without a club dress. The issue of hanging up his gloves also surfaced considering that he was 33 years old.

However, it turned out that De Gea returned to the field. He agreed to defend Fiorentina's banner on August 9, 2024.

Debutnya dimulai ketika tampil di Kualifikasi UEFA Conference League 2024/2025. De Gea tampil penuh dalam dua leg dan membantu Fiorentina lolos ke UEFA Conference League.

De Gea then began his first trip in Serie A 2024/2025 when he visited Atalanta's headquarters which resulted in a 2-3 defeat.

However, De Gea began to gain full trust. His first clean-sheet was only obtained when he drew 0-0 against Empoli in his third party in Serie A.

Most recently, De Gea proved that his time was not over. The touch is not gone yet. The nickname monster under the onion bar is still attached.

De Gea dropped when Fiorentina hosted AC Milan. Playing full, many statistical sites gave the 33-year-old goalkeeper's score at least 9.

The reason is clear, David de Gea made a brilliant save. Two Milan penalties from Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham were saved.

Fiorentina also managed to secure three points after winning 2-1. His action brought La Viola to extend the slick record of four unbeaten matches in all competitions.

De Gea immediately became the main topic. However, he was reluctant to have a big head.

"Today's victory is very important. Finally, the hard work we have done over the past few weeks is starting to pay off. Beating Milan can be a good start to a different season," De Gea told DAZN.

"A great night. I want to focus not on penalties, but on the team's hard work to give fans a night like this," he said again.

The discussion of De Gea's actions was so busy, the news of Fiorentina's victory arrived in England, especially Manchester.

Manchester United supporters, De Gea's former club, are busy criticizing management who dumped the goalkeeper last year.

Andre Onana, the new goalkeeper of the Red Devils, has finally become a target. Recruiting the Cameroonian goalkeeper to replace De Gea is considered a major sin of Erik ten Hag.

De Gea's slick appearance also made the pressure on Ten Hag even more heated. The call to fire the Dutch manager was getting stronger.

Moreover, Manchester United officials have scheduled to meet Ten Hag on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, to determine his fate.

The Red Devils, according to the latest news, have prepared Thomas Tuchel as a replacement for Ten Hag.

"Getting rid of him (De Gea) for Onana is a violation that could get the manager fired, referring to the arrival of the Cameroonian player to replace De Gea in July 2023," said one of the supporters summarized by The Sun.

"Take him back to Manchester," asked a fan.

"A great Reflection remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world," wrote another fan.

"Ten Hag is out. De Gea is 100 times better than Onana. If we keep it," tweeted the next netizen.

David de Gea has been at Old Trafford since moving from Atletico Madrid in 2011.

Setelah 12 tahun bersama Manchester United, dia sudah merasakan trofi Liga Inggris dan Piala FA masing-masing satu kali.

The Spanish goalkeeper remains seventh on the list of players with the most performances for Manchester United.
