Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is making a sensational return to football by joining this shocking club
Former Spanish international and Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea hasn’t kicked a football in earnest in almost a year.
Any offers that came his way around this time last year, when it became evident that he was surplus to needs at the Red Devils, appear to have been unacceptable to the now 33-year-old.
Erik ten Hag, who intended to place his own man in Andre Onana between the sticks at Manchester United, unceremoniously fired de Gea, but he looked to take the rejection well.
David De Gea might finally be moving to Saudi Arabia.
Though he might have been excused for venting on social media and in print about the club’s treatment of him after many years of excellent service, his quiet at the time said volumes about the guy he is.
However, as the months passed, the Spaniard’s chances of playing professional football again became increasingly remote.
It is thought that he has maintained himself healthy and active throughout his year-long absence from a club, and journalist Rudy Galetti believes that he may be nearing the end of his spell in the football wilderness.

Given that the new season begins in August, it is in the keeper’s best interests to finalize his future plans as soon as possible rather than dragging things out any longer than necessary.
In the meanwhile, it will be intriguing to watch whether any other European teams make one more attempt to retain him on the continent.
