David De Gea, 33, has been without a team since leaving the Red Devils last summer. In a bid to attract potential suitors, he shared a video on social media of him undergoing training drills at Altrincham FC’s J Davidson Stadium in an individual training session. The video went viral, sparking a range of reactions from fans, with some expressing surprise that he remains a free agent.
There were also comparisons made between De Gea and the Red Devils’ new goalkeeper, as well as light-hearted jokes about his situation. There have been comments on the lack of interest from clubs and the support offered by his predecessor, Edwin van der Sar. Van der Sar recalled his own experience of being in a similar situation after leaving Juventus in 2001, offering words of encouragement to De Gea.
The goalkeeper has garnered interest from Real Betis in his home country, but reports suggest that negotiations have stalled due to his high wage demands. Overall, the situation has prompted varied responses from fans and former players alike, as De Gea continues to seek a new club following his departure from Manchester United.
