People often forget past. DeGea have been brilliant player for us and saved us 3 points so many times that you can't even count it. One of few that can hold his head high post Fergie - era. .
David de Gea has left Manchester United

Said it better than I could
This thread is essentially one where people can carry on with the pile on. Its very sad, a reflection of our fan base rather than DDG

Spot on. A player who deserves the upmost respect for his career at United. An upgrade was needed by the end (which is the case for most of the team tbh) but certainly a United player through and through. I hope he gets a position somewhere else and is eventually seen as a positive part of United's history during a tumultuous period in future.
At times? Our fan base is the type to wank over garbage like Cristiano and Greenwood but crucify good blokes like De Gea. Sad group of people.
Has anyone been in for him then? Surprising he wasn’t snapped up, very good keeper still.
Again this is online mate, in the real world united fans are much more sensible! I am yet to meet a United fan in person who has anything but respect for de Gea, and I have also never met in person a United fan who wanted to ever see mason greenwood in a united shirt again.
Because that is not how it works usually. He is 32, for a GK, he should be in his good years still and far from finished. He could play another 5 or 6 years in a top 5 league in theory.
Sure he has some money now, but ambitious players at a good age that played in a top league dont take a break from football just like that to enjoy life. I dont think he has fallen out of love with football either.
It is obvious that the offers dont match what he thinks he should be getting financially and/or club wise. He completely misjudged his standing in the market.
Very strange, looks like he might retire
The game has moved on, the type of clubs that want him can’t afford him. The clubs that can afford him need more than just a shot stopper.
Right and I'm not disagreeing with that.
But how many people are actually abusing him or similar on here?
All I've seen for the most part is a discussion on why he hasn't been signed (and the reasons behind it)
And then a whole bunch of posts saying it's sad he's not been respected in this thread. And like usual I ask, which posts are we specifically talking about ?
Yeah, I've seen more posts in here complaining about him being disrespected than I've actually seen posts disrespecting him.
That’s becoming the standard on lots of topics tbh.
Has DDG still not got a club? If not, has he even been linked anywhere strongly?
He was with both Bayern & Real Madrid when they were looking for potential GK's. Neither preferred him.
Yeah happens a lot on here. Like when we lose and a few people criticise the manager, then a load of crazy folk start shouting off that everyone wants him sacked
Because people see posts like “He is shite now thats why no club wants him and ETH was right” as being disgraceful to the career he had with us. In reality the two things are not connected at all.
A lot on here got it massively wrong and can't accept the true reality of how De Gea is actually viewed in the footballing world.
Posting training videos would suggest that's he's putting his cv out there.
He’s at risk at getting lost in the shuffle. Football moves pretty fast and the longer you’re out it, the harder it is to get back in especially when you’re not at a club. He’s competing against a score of emerging goalkeepers that won’t demand the money he supposedly wants, are younger and more in line with what modern goalkeepers do.
You can’t really take sabbaticals in this line of work if you want to keep your career going (if that is indeed what he is doing).

He must strongly regret not taking that 200K offer back on march.
Poor lad reality is hitting him hard.

He must not want Saudi money, I mean he's better than most of the Keepers over there and they're giving 6 figures to anyone who's even been near a top team.
The local GK pool is one of Saudi’s strongest positions and their clubs have a foreigner quota so apart from the two no-brainer GK signings they’ve made (Bono and Mendy), they’ll be focusing on outfield positions at this point.
The way things are going with this club at the moment, I'm expecting breaking news that the contract offer was unlawfully revoked and we're now obligated to honour that contract and bring him back to the club.
What a mistake this was.
He's still available...
Selective memories
My keeper.
It's cliche but it's true, he would have saved all three. None of them anywhere near the corner.

What a fecking shambles
I miss him 
Remeber when de gea was the problem? Once he'd left utd would be able to play progressive football?
Seriously? He was absolutely finished. Hence why no team has taken him on. Onana may or may not be the solution, but De Gea had to go.
You may disagree with the replacement but getting rid of him was the right decision.
Just because Onana is horrendous doesn’t mean de Gea wasn’t shite too
Was never my kind of keeper but then neither is Onana.
At least De Gea was a world class shot stopper. I'm not sure Onana is world class at anything although it's still early days.

must be pissing himself laughing at this mess
What a save from Onana!
Because we have gk whos contribution so far is literally some nice passes to defenders.
People still living in 2016 thinking DDG is still that amazing 2016 version goalkeeper and not the average goalkeeper he was for the last few seasons. Move on guys.
Correct, DDG was a world class shot stopper. Emphasis on was
