Former goalkeeper David de Gea van Manchester United was honored with a special presentation after he returned to Old Trafford with Fiorentina on Saturday.

Prior to the kick-off against Fiorentina, Captain Bruno Fernandes stepped on the old Trafford field to present his good friend and former teammate a framed photo, while the United Squad was applauding behind them.
On the eve of the friendly, the Portuguese midfielder had made jokes that he hoped to score against his former teammate.
Fernandes said, “I hope I score some goals against you!”
De Gea answered by saying: 'Hello, as you know, I come home. It will certainly be a special game for me.
'Bruno, you know, you can't score against me, and if you score, it's because I let you score so that people keep singing your name!
“But to be honest, I can't wait to see you my friend. I can't wait to see you all at Old Trafford, so I will be there on Saturday, goodbye! '
De Gea started his career in Atletico Madrid, with whom he won the Europa League in the 2009-10 season.
Since he came to Fiorentina, he has played 42 times for the Italian club.
