After 12 years of loyalty, David de Gea has left Manchester United following the expiration of his contract this summer. However, the truth about his departure and the contract offers allegedly made to the Spanish player has been revealed by insiders.
De Gea confirmed on Saturday afternoon that he would be leaving Man United, and it appears that the Red Devils have chosen Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana as his replacement.
According to the Manchester Evening News, MU affirmed that no official contract was offered to De Gea, while stating that the Spanish goalkeeper was well aware of his contract situation by the end of the 2022/23 season.
Man United and De Gea both agreed that this was the appropriate time to part ways, with manager Erik ten Hag determined to complete the signing of Onana from Inter Milan before the start of the pre-season tour.
Man United still needs to increase their offer before being accepted by Inter. However, they are optimistic about securing the signing of the Cameroonian goalkeeper. Onana is also believed to have agreed to personal terms with the Red Devils, meaning the transfer fee is the only obstacle in this deal.
On the personnel list of MU, Dean Henderson remains, who has recently returned from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest. However, many believe that he will be officially signed by Nottingham this summer.
Third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton had his contract extended at the end of the previous season, although he is reportedly eager to play regular football as he enters the final years of his career. Everton and Luton have contacted the 37-year-old player, but without success.
