Manchester United is ready to make a "shameful" turn, asking the return to the team of the Spanish goalkeeper, David de Gea. The team leaders and coach Ten Hag decided to remove De Gea from the team, not offering him a contract renewal at the end of last season. However, it looks like United are once again in need of some options in goal.
The plan to bring De Gea back follows the decision of current United goalkeeper Onana to return to the Cameroon national team. Onana had previously announced his departure from the national team, but recently he has decided to return and will be part of Cameroon in Afcon. The competition runs from January 13 to February 11, meaning Onana will be unavailable for United during this period. The Red Devils are expected to play 8 matches within these dates, and need a name that gives confidence in goal.
United captain Bruno Fernandes recently met with De Gea in Manchester. Fernandes previously expressed his regret at the fact that De Gea was not given the chance of a dignified exit from Old Trafford. Many voices inside the club were of the idea that the Spanish goalkeeper should not leave United, from the leaders of the "Red Devils".
Onana was United's hero in the challenge against Copenhagen in the Champions League, as he managed to save a penalty from the opponents in the last minutes, saving his team the victory. However, the Cameroonian goalkeeper has had a difficult career start in England, which has been characterized by several mistakes on the green field. This has further increased the voices within the club who are excited about a possible return of De Gea. However, at this moment there is still no concrete news from the player or his agents.
