Premier League
Manchester United is going through one of its worst sporting moments in years. With institutional drift and a squad underperforming, the 'Red Devils' are trying to find solutions to regain stability. Following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag and the signing of Rúben Amorim, the team has struggled to recover. They are currently in discreet positions in the Premier League, and their only hope for redemption lies in the UEFA Europa League, where they will face Olympique de Lyon in the quarter-finals.
One of the team's major problems has been the goalkeeping position. The decision to go for André Onana has not paid off. The Cameroonian goalkeeper, signed from Inter Milan for over 50 million euros, has made mistakes and faced criticism throughout his two seasons in England. His statistics speak for themselves: 137 goals conceded in 92 matches and a dozen errors that have cost valuable points. In contrast, the memory of David De Gea still lingers at Old Trafford.
His outstanding performance embarrasses the Old Trafford board
The Spanish international, who departed in 2023 after not renewing his contract, has resurged strongly at Fiorentina. He has become a key player for Raffaele Palladino, being one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Serie A. His performance has not gone unnoticed, and there are serious considerations in Manchester about his potential return.
De Gea's contract expires in June, but the club is expected to activate a clause to extend it for another year. Nevertheless, public pressure and United's desire to correct their mistake could lead to negotiations. The goalkeeper's return to the Theatre of Dreams doesn't seem as unlikely as it did a few months ago. At Old Trafford, they acknowledge that his departure was a mistake, and they aim to regain what they should have never lost.
