Injury in Manchester United match opens up sensational PL return avenue for David De Gea

The rumors linking David De Gea to many clubs don’t seem to be ending anytime soon. The former Manchester United goalkeeper was let go last summer after 12 years between the goalposts. Since then, he has been a free agent with no club, even though the season is in full flow.

Since then, he has been linked with many clubs, both in England and abroad. He has been linked with and rejected offers from Saudi club Al-Nassr, David Beckham’s Inter Miami, Premier League giants Chelsea, as well as a Spanish second division side. But now he has one more offer, one that may interest him.

Nick Pope’s injury opens way for David De Gea’s PL return

According to British journalist Mike McGrath, Newcastle United’s goalkeeper Nick Pope will be out for a long time, which can also be the rest of the season. This is due to his having sustained a shoulder injury after falling awkwardly during the 1-0 victory against Manchester United. Pope is one of their most crucial players, having kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League so far.

And now the Magpies are back in the transfer market, looking for an immediate solution to their star player. With the transfer window still a month away, Newcastle may look to the free agent market and one certain goalkeeper does come to mind. That goalkeeper is David De Gea, at least according to The Daily Mail.

Given the fact that he is an established goalkeeper, one that has played in the Premier League as well, and was the Golden Glove winner last season, he has much appeal. De Gea could also be open to the move, as he would be a guaranteed starter, which is the main reason he rejected Chelsea, as he didn’t want to be a backup goalkeeper.

However, De Gea could ask for huge wages, which is why he was let go at United. Newcastle may want him to reduce those if he wants to reenter the big stage.

De Gea posted cryptic message after Manchester United’s latest defeat

Recently, David De Gea also seemed to hint at Manchester United’s misfortunes after the Red Devils lost against Newcastle. The whole season has seen United massively suffer, and one of the main reasons for it was the numerous mistakes by newly signed goalkeeper Andre Onana. Onana made a huge blunder as well against Newcastle.

After seeing the mistakes of Onana cost the club crucial games, fans and such have started to think that De Gea never should have left. De Gea was also let go after disagreements over contract wages and was not given a proper farewell. The Spaniard seemed to poke fun at the recent loss by posting a cold face emoji on the social media platform X, and many think it was pointed at his former employers.

It remains to be seen if David De Gea does choose to join a new club, and if he does choose Newcastle, we could see the Spaniard back in the Premier League.
