David de Gea stokes Man Utd return rumours after confirming meeting with current star
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is back in England, with fans clamouring for the veteran to return in the wake of Andre Onana’s concerning form
David de Gea has sent Manchester United fans into an online frenzy after sharing a snap of him enjoying a meal with on-loan defender Sergio Reguilon.
De Gea, 32, spent over a decade at Old Trafford before leaving the club in the summer at the end of his contract. However, the Spaniard’s replacement, Andre Onana, has made a string of high-profile errors since joining the Red Devils in a £47.2million deal.
Onana’s form has led to some United fans pining for De Gea to make a return, with the veteran goalkeeper currently still without a club. Those calls have intensified this week after De Gea returned to Manchester in order to sort some issues with his old house.
De Gea had already teased fans on Instagram by posting a story from Leigh Sports Village, where United women’s team’s played Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League qualifier, on Tuesday night.
And he went one step further by sharing a snap of him alongside Reguilon – the Tottenham left-back who joined United on loan in the summer – on his Instagram story the following evening.
De Gea has rejected offers to return to football and is believed to be in no to rush to decide his next move. The veteran was offered a lucrative deal to move to Saudi Arabia in the summer but knocked back that interest, while top European clubs have also been linked with him.

De Gea was moved on as Erik ten Hag wanted a goalkeeper comfortable with playing out from the back with his feet. Onana, who he worked with at Ajax, possesses such qualities, but the opening months of his United career have been undermined by a number of embarrassing mistakes.
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel admitted earlier this week that he was concerned that Onana’s teammates may have already lost trust in their new goalkeeper.
He Premier League Productions: “I think a lot of that [Onana’s mistakes] is pressure. I spoke to him after Bayern. I spoke to him after Galatasaray as well and he was very down on the mistakes he made.

“I’m trying to speak to him about what it’s like being at Manchester United and why whatever [mistakes] you’ve made, you have to put it in a box and put it to the side. If you make a mistake in the game, it might be a mistake we can see, it might be a mistake that we don’t see.
“But you wait to think about it and analyse it after the game or at night or whatever. You have to be there for the next moment. If you’re not, you’ll make the next mistake. And now he’s upset the whole team. They will now not trust him even more, and my god, it’s not good.”
