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 with 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, De Gea faced competition from Pietro Terracciano. He has since established himself as Fiorentina's main goalkeeper and played 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 games, including games against AC Milan and Genoa.
De Gea's improved performances highlight a return to form after a challenging end to his tenure at Manchester United. His current success is seen as the result of reduced pressure and the opportunity for a mental reset, allowing him to thrive in a more balanced team environment.
Manchester United legend
David de Gea enjoyed a remarkable career at Manchester United, cementing his place as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the club's history. He signed for a then-record fee as a goalkeeper for Atlético Madrid in 2011 and initially struggled to adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League, but quickly developed into a world-class shot-stopper. In twelve years, De Gea made 545 appearances for Manchester United and established himself as a club legend. The 2022-2023 Premier League Golden Glove award was won by David de Gea. This was the second time in his career that he had received this honour, making 17 clean sheets during the season, the most in the league. Despite a shaky start to the season for Manchester United, De Gea's performances were crucial 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. In addition, United won the 2022/23 Carabao Cup, marking De Gea's last trophy with the club.
'Seen a movie before'
During De Gea's 12 years at Manchester United, he started 10 Manchester derby wins for the club. Notably, in the 2019-2020 season, Manchester United completed a league double against Manchester City, with De Gea putting in an excellent performance.
