According to reports, former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea ‘may retire’ following his exit from the Premier League giants.

De Gea was once considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world but he has declined over the past couple of years.

The Spaniard entered the final year of his contract at Man Utd at the start of last season and talks between the two parties over a new deal ended up breaking down.

The Red Devils had the option to secure De Gea’s services for a further year as there was a clause in his contract but they instead wanted him to take a pay cut.

De Gea was reportedly open to doing this but he ended up leaving the Premier League giants upon the expiry of his contract.

The 33-year-old was made to ‘consider his option’ as he reportedly signed a new contract only for the club to back out and offer him another deal with a lower salary.

Man Utd spent a significant fee to sign Andre Onana from Inter Milan and De Gea’s replacement has endured a difficult start at Old Trafford.
