BREAKING: 100% Deal Completed – Manchester United are set to RE-SIGN David de Gea on a short-term contract.

In a potential blockbuster reversal of transfer plans, Manchester United could be on the verge of an unprecedented U-turn, if recent reports hold true.

According to The Sun, there’s growing buzz that Erik ten Hag is contemplating the re-signing of David de Gea, and remarkably, on a free transfer.

This intriguing development follows Andre Onana’s resurgence in the spotlight as he returns to the fold for the Cameroon national team.

Onana is expected to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in January, leaving Manchester United with only Altay Bayindir, their recent signing, and the seasoned third-choice goalkeeper, Tom Heaton.

It’s worth noting that January is when the Premier League’s fixture list heats up, as all international breaks are wrapped up by November.

In light of these circumstances, Ten Hag might be considering De Gea as a dependable option with a proven track record in the Premier League.

De Gea, the Spanish shot-stopper, has yet to secure a club after parting ways with Manchester United. Despite being linked with numerous teams such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Al-Nassr, a deal hasn’t materialized for one reason or another.

During his absence from Manchester United, Onana’s return has been marked by a somewhat uncertain start, with fans hoping that his recent heroics in saving a penalty in the dying moments of a match against Copenhagen could mark a turning point in his career.

Bayindir, on the other hand, is still waiting for his debut for the club, and the idea of thrusting him into high-pressure situations during the crucial part of the season might be causing Ten Hag to think twice.

According to the report, any potential agreement would be of a short-term nature, allowing the goalkeeper to embark on a fresh adventure next season while honing his skills at an elite level this year.

The big question looming is whether De Gea would entertain such a proposal at this stage of his career.

Given the circumstances of his departure from Manchester United, marked by rescinded contract offers, changing terms, and enduring fan criticism, readers might understandably approach this report with a healthy dose of skepticism.
