Here is why David De Gea is making a return to Man United’s stadium, Old Trafford before a new season in club football starts.
Fiorentina goalkeeper David De Gea is preparing for an emotional return to Old Trafford this Saturday, as he reunites with Man United fans and former team-mates for the Snapdragon Cup and also a pre-match presentation on his first return to the club since he left.
De Gea, who made 545 appearances for the Red Devils over his unforgettable 12-year spell, will step back into the stadium where he became one of the club’s greatest-ever goalkeepers. His career at the Theatre of Dreams saw him win multiple trophies, four Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year awards, and earn a place seventh on United’s all-time appearance list.
De Gea in a message to fans ahead of the tournament has made it clear how much the moment means to him: “Hello, as you know, I’m coming home. For sure, it’s going to be a special game for me… I can’t wait to see you all at Old Trafford.”
