AFCON bringing back De Gea to Old Trafford?
Reading Time: 3min | Thu. 26.10.23. | 09:36
The former number 1 could be back due to Onana's January exit to the African Cup of Nations
The English press is buzzing: Manchester United wants to return David de Gea! No, it is not a problem with Andrea Onana, although he has not been in a particularly good form since he arrived at "Old Trafford", although perhaps the saved penalty against FC Copenhagen will boost his confidence a little. In fact, there is a problem with Onana, but it is not in his form. The Cameroonian will go to the African Cup in January and will therefore miss around eight United's games. And that is already causing panic at the "Theater of Dreams".
🚨 Manchester United are set to RE-SIGN David de Gea on a short-term contract. The club are worried they will be short of goalkeepers when André Onana goes to AFCON! 🇨🇲

On the bench, the Dutch tactician has another newcomer Altay Bayindir, who has not yet recorded a single minute in goal for Manchester, as well as veteran Tom Heaton, who is struggling with injuries this season and it would be extremely wrong to rely on him. That's why someone at United came up with the idea of ​​calling back David de Gea, according to The Sun. There are no technical obstacles, because the Spanish goalkeeper does not have a club, which is completely incredible. But the catch is probably that he values ​​himself extremely and will not go "below the price".

De Gea left Manchester this summer because his contract expired and he did not want to accept a new one with a reduced salary of almost 400,000 euros per week. However, since the goalkeeper clearly overestimated his qualities, expecting a mountain of offers, the English claim that there are positive signals from both sides to renew the cooperation. Will it happen is another matter.
