Manchester United considering re-signing David De Gea after Fiorentina success
Manchester United are once again considering the possibility of re-signing David De Gea, following the Spanish goalkeeper’s impressive run of form at Fiorentina. The club, frustrated with André Onana’s performances, has been evaluating options for the goalkeeping position and is now tempted to bring back their former number one.
United’s Goalkeeping Concerns
The Red Devils’ hierarchy has expressed dissatisfaction with Onana, who has struggled to convince since his arrival at Old Trafford. While the Cameroonian remains the starter, internal debates continue over whether United need a more reliable option between the posts.
De Gea, released by United in 2023 after 12 years at the club, emerged as a free agent before joining Fiorentina, where he has quickly established himself as a starter and leader. His resurgence in Serie A has reignited talk of a potential return to Manchester.
Fiorentina Form Raises Eyebrows
According to Sun Sport, De Gea’s consistency with Fiorentina has impressed Manchester United officials. Not only has he been decisive in key matches, but his leadership qualities have also strengthened a young Viola squad, making him one of the standout veterans in the league this season.
The board at Old Trafford remains divided:
- Pro-De Gea group sees him as an immediate improvement over Onana and a familiar face who understands the club.
- Skeptical group doubts the Spaniard would accept a return after his difficult and abrupt exit in 2023.
No Talks Yet, But His Name Stays on the Table
Despite the growing speculation, no negotiations are currently underway between De Gea, Fiorentina, and Manchester United. The goalkeeper remains under contract in Italy, while United continue to evaluate other names on their shortlist.
Still, the possibility of a De Gea comeback once considered unlikely is back in discussion at Old Trafford.
