Report: David De Gea now targeted for Champions League return after bouncing back from Manchester United axe

Manchester United fans have doubts over Andre Onana, and his predecessor David De Gea could be on the move this summer.

Manchester United face a huge summer transfer window as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster his squad at Old Trafford.

Attacking options are vital for Amorim and United are closing in on signing Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Alejandro Garnacho has been told to leave United and was left out of the squad to face Aston Villa on Sunday.

Andre Onana was, intriguingly, left out as well in a decision which will spark questions about his future at Old Trafford.

Onana has struggled this season and United may need to find another goalkeeper just two years after moving on from David De Gea.

David De Gea wanted by Monaco

United said goodbye to De Gea in 2023, deciding not to extend the Spaniard’s contract.

Onana came in to replace De Gea, and the former Atletico Madrid man spent the entirety of the 2023-24 season without a club.

More United News

Fiorentina signed De Gea last summer and he hasn’t looked back, turning in a brilliant campaign in Serie A.

De Gea may be 34 now, but he is still attracting admiring glances from other clubs as the summer transfer window kicks off.

Fabrizio Romano now reports that Monaco are interested in signing De Gea, making him ‘one of their desired targets’.

Fiorentina want to extend De Gea’s contract and are ready to offer him a new deal until the summer of 2028.

That deal would take De Gea towards 38, but he is really proving that he can still have a great career even after leaving United.

Monaco have qualified for next season’s Champions League, potentially offering De Gea a return to Europe’s top competition.

Being given the choice between Florence and Monte Carlo is a tough one, but that decision may well fall at De Gea’s feet this summer after rejuvenating his career.

Wayne Rooney unlikely to see his De Gea wish come true

United may be in the market for another goalkeeper or two this summer.

Onana’s future is unclear and Altay Bayindir is expected to leave United in search of first-team chances elsewhere.

A number of goalkeepers will be on United’s radar, but we can’t see De Gea being one of them – despite Wayne Rooney’s appeals.

Rooney wants United to re-sign De Gea and believes that he would ‘do a very good job’ with a return to Manchester.

We love seeing De Gea succeed and returning to the Champions League having spent a whole season in the wilderness would sum up his quality.

The ship has sailed on his United career, though, and we will stick to watching him from afar rather than at Old Trafford.
