I’ll Always Be Grateful For The Opportunity To Play For MUFC – De Gea

Manchester United legend, David de Gea has opened up on his controversial exit in 2023. He recently revealed that he has no regrets, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the 12 years he spent at Old Trafford was one of the best periods of his life, and having the opportunity to play for the club is simply incredible.

De Gea added that he’ll always be grateful to Manchester United for giving him a home for more than a decade.

His words, “No. Sometimes football is like it is, you can’t control everything. I’ve been here [United] 12 years, very, very nice, it’s one of the best periods of my life.

Playing for this club is just unbelievable, especially when you leave the club, you realise how big is the club, how difficult it was to be 12 years in a club like United. I’m always grateful for this club, for everyone, it’s been an amazing journey. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back here so it’s been a special day, of course.

There’s always these things coming to your mind but I was feeling good, I trained again, I was feeling ready to go again.

Fiorentina gave me the opportunity to play. I’m feeling very, very good there. It’s like a family, I’m feeling great, the city is amazing, the club is great. You see today we can play against top teams like United, so hopefully this year we can make something special as well.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
