da realbet： He has been one of Manchester United’s star performers in recent times, but the time may have come for David de Gea to finally be let go.
da apostebet： The Spain international arrived in the summer of 2011 for a fee in the region of £18.9m, with Sir Alex Ferguson even describing him as an “outstanding replacement for (Edwin) Van der Sar” upon the announcement of his signing.
Quite the praise indeed. But there can be no question that De Gea has more than lived up to that, winning multiple personal and team accolades in his time at Old Trafford.

As well as being named in the PFA Team of the Year multiple times in recognition of his heroic efforts in between the sticks, he has also been a part of a Premier League winning team, and a side that has won the Europa League and FA Cup too.
But all good things must come to an end, and sadly for De Gea and United, that appears to be imminent. The Spaniard’s performances in the past couple of seasons have tailed off dramatically, with high-profile errors becoming the norm rather than the exception.
You only have to look at his howlers against Watford and Everton this season to showcase that. All in all, the 2018/2019 campaign saw him commit four errors that directly led to goals, whilst this year has already seen him make three – not the kind of form of someone who is still at the peak of his powers.
And whilst losing De Gea may previously have been a big no-no, Dean Henderson’s imperious performances on loan at Sheffield United for the second successive year makes it all the more easier for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to cut his losses on the former.
Henderson has been part of a Blades side that have conceded just 25 goals in 28 Premier League games this season – to put that into context, only champions-elect Liverpool have let in less.
Having Henderson on their books already means United don’t even have to go out and splash big money on a replacement for De Gea. It all makes it the perfect time for Solskjaer to make the tough decision on one of the Red Devils’ last remaining Ferguson signings.
Meanwhile, Man Utd swoop for this Serie A star would be a major coup.
