Man Utd Considers Shock Return for David De Gea After Fiorentina Clause Revealed

Manchester United are quietly investigating a potential return for David De Gea, following his emotional appearance at Old Trafford during a pre-season friendly. The 34-year-old, who left the club in 2023 after a contract dispute, has a clause in his Fiorentina deal allowing a low-cost exit. De Gea’s Instagram post hinted at a possible reunion, saying, “Our paths may cross again,” after fans gave him a hero’s welcome.

Manager Ruben Amorim has kept Andre Onana guessing about his starting role, emphasizing that no player is guaranteed a spot. Onana, who missed pre-season with an injury, faces competition from backup Altay Bayindir. Meanwhile, United’s transfer links to other goalkeepers like Emi Martinez and Gianluigi Donnarumma add further uncertainty.

De Gea’s potential return hinges on wage space, but his renewed form and connection with fans make him an enticing option. With 545 appearances for United, his legacy is undeniable, and a comeback could reignite Old Trafford’s spirit as the new season begins.
