The former United goalkeeper appeared to reminisce about his victories over Manchester City during his time at Manchester United.
David de Gea is currently reviving his career at Fiorentina in Serie A. After leaving Manchester United in 2023, he spent a year as a free agent before joining the Italian club in the summer of 2024. Initially facing competition from Pietro Terracciano, De Gea has since established himself as Fiorentina’s primary goalkeeper, playing a key role in their strong start to the 2024/25 season. The team currently sits fourth in Serie A, with De Gea keeping multiple clean sheets and making decisive saves in key matches, including games against AC Milan and Genoa.
De Gea’s improved performances highlight a return to form after a challenging end to his Manchester United tenure. His current success is seen as a result of reduced pressure and the opportunity for a mental reset, enabling him to thrive in a more balanced team environment.
Legend of Manchester United
David de Gea enjoyed a remarkable career at Manchester United, solidifying his place as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the club's history. Signed in 2011 from Atlético Madrid for a then-record fee for a goalkeeper, he initially struggled to adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League but quickly evolved into a world-class shot-stopper. Over 12 years, De Gea made 545 appearances for Manchester United and established himself as a club legend. The 2022-23 Premier League Golden Glove award was won by David de Gea. This was the second time in his career that he received this honor, achieving 17 clean sheets during the season, the highest in the league. Despite a shaky start to the season for Manchester United, De Gea's performances were pivotal to the team's success. His clean sheet record helped United secure a third-place finish in the league, earning a return to the UEFA Champions League. Additionally, United won the 2022-23 Carabao Cup, marking De Gea's final trophy with the club.
'Movie seen before'
During De Gea's 12 years at Manchester United, he started in 10 Manchester derby victories for the club. Notably, in the 2019–20 season, Manchester United completed a league double over Manchester City, with De Gea delivering an outstanding performance.
