Former Man United’s goalkeeper David de Gea names ONE ex-teammate who frustrated him out of the club- Not Onana.

David De Gea has once again found himself at the center of Manchester United discussions after revealing the one condition that could see him make a sensational return to Old Trafford. The Spanish goalkeeper, who left the club in 2023 following a contract standoff, has finally broken his silence on the reasons behind his departure and the circumstances that might lead to a comeback.
De Gea’s love for Manchester United remains undeniable, but he made it clear that his return would only be possible if a specific player were to leave the club. While he refrained from naming names, speculation has been rife, with some suggesting it could be Bruno Fernandes, given past rumors of friction, while others point to André Onana, whose arrival ultimately marked the end of De Gea’s time as United’s number one.
Since parting ways with the Red Devils, De Gea spent over a year without a club before signing with Fiorentina in August 2024. The veteran shot-stopper has since made an impact in Serie A, proving he still has the quality to perform at the highest level. His recent heroics, including crucial penalty saves against AC Milan, have reignited discussions about whether Manchester United made the right decision in letting him go.
Reports suggest that Ruben Amorim, who has been linked with the managerial role at United, is an admirer of De Gea and could push for his return if appointed. With questions lingering over André Onana’s performances, bringing back the experienced Spaniard might seem like an appealing option. However, the condition De Gea has set adds complexity to any potential deal, putting the club in a difficult position ahead of the January transfer window.
Fans remain divided over the prospect of De Gea’s return. While some believe the club should prioritize experience and stability between the posts, others argue that allowing a player to dictate squad decisions could set a dangerous precedent. The situation remains unresolved, and all eyes are now on Manchester United’s board to see whether they will entertain the possibility of fulfilling De Gea’s condition or move forward without revisiting the past.
