The presence of former Man Utd goalkeeper David De Gea created a stir among the audience at Leigh Sports Village Stadium, Manchester, England, on the day the Man Utd women’s team debuted in the UEFA Champions League.

Because this is the first time De Gea returns to Manchester after terminating his contract with Man Utd in early July 2023. Since then, he and his family moved back to Madrid (Spain).

In addition, in the current context of Man Utd’s men’s team, De Gea’s main replacement, Onana, is constantly making mistakes, not bringing peace of mind to fans in recent times.

The Spanish goalkeeper also excitedly posted on social networks a photo of the Man Utd women’s team playing with the words “Let’s go – @manutdwomen” (roughly translated: Go Man Utd women’s team).

According to research from British media, De Gea came to Manchester earlier this week to renovate his old house in Hale, where he lived before leaving Man Utd after 12 years.

Currently, De Gea is unemployed although there is a lot of information that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid want to recruit him.

Many sources said: “De Gea is enjoying life with his family and is not in a hurry to find a new team after receiving a high salary of 375,000 pounds/week at Man Utd.”

Returning to the Man Utd women’s team, the Manchester girls competed for the first time in the UEFA Champions League arena when they welcomed the PSG women’s team. As a result, the two teams drew 1-1 with goals from Tabitha Chawinga (PSG, 53′) and Melvine Malard (Man Utd, 70′).
