Legend. Sad ending but it’s better than paying £200k plus a week for a keeper that will end up on the bench.

Agree. Wish we had given him a proper send off. Anyone that deserves it in this squad, it’s most certainly him.

Having said that, it was the best move for all parties in the end. He’s too good to be a 2nd choice GK.

With him and Phil Jones now having left, that’s the last of the Fergie era gone, isn’t it?

Think so. Incredible that they were both still here a decade later.
 
Legend! Wish him all the best, if was long since due to move on unfortunately but he was truly great at his best, and still won everything apart from the CL with us. Ending with the most clean sheets of any United keeper too.

Thanks Ddg
 
Sad now that it’s official. Long time we moved on but it’s still an odd feeling that we won’t be in goal for us any more.

Honestly they didn't. Fans want a kumbaya situation but the truth is his wages didn't match his talent at this moment and he wasn't williig to take a step back from them. We've been way too sentimental in the past with these things, this HAD to happen this way.
 
Oh man despite it being the right decision this is sad to see, perhaps more so given the total lack of a worthy send-off for a real club legend. Thank you for all the delightful memories ! To a happy marriage and more success wherever you go.
 
At his best he was unbelievable but this last few years has certainly soured his time here as he cost us a hell of a lot in the big moments.

Although that is more the club's fault than his as they should have replaced him like 3+ seasons ago.
 
I remember the bedsheets... I remember his debut..
Was incredible for several seasons..
So many great memories..

Hope he gets a great club or a massive pay day.. whatever the feck he wants.. All the best DDG.
 
It was time for him to go, especially with ETH in charge. I don't think he's been the same keeper he once was over the last few years... however, to me he's cemented his place as a United legend over that period of time we were complete dogshit and he was saving our asses time and time again.

Guy won Player of the Year 4 times for us, 3 of those in a row.. as a Goalkeeper, that's how much he was saving our ass.
 
It's time but sad to see him go he was fantastic for us for the majority but the last couple of years really showed up his deficiencies, i feel like the club have made a bit of a mess of this not giving him a proper opportunity to say goodbye he deserves a testimonial.

Good luck Dave.
 
Despite being the correct decision it's a shame it's ended in such a mess.
 
Sad to see a legend leave but it was about time. Thanks for everything Big Dave, good luck!
 
Unfortunate to play for us during the period he did. World Class in his prime.
 
Cheers for the memories Dave. Single handedly ensured some of our worst seasons since Ferguson left weren't even more worse than they were from a league position point of view
 
End of an era. Phenomenal keeper at his peak. Probably the best shot stopper I've ever seen. Thanks for the everything David.
 
Should have got a better send off. Been a great servant and bailed us out time and time again! Good luck in the future super Dave!!
 
End of an era. He’s a club legend but his time has passed, a bit of a dinosaur though with his limited skills.

Oh I wanted him gone for ages but just didn’t like what happened in the last month with so much speculation
 
No testimonial for him is a joke however you want to spin it. We're such a circus under the Glazers.
 
Hope people get a chance to reflect on his United career now and bin the negative rhetoric. He was a rock in our most difficult period in decades and deserves huge respect. He'll go down in the pantheon of great United keepers. Hope he finds a good next step. All the best Dave.
 
all the best to him, for a good few seasons he was the best GK in the world and he’s a United legend.
 
Oh wow. Whilst I knew this was coming, it feels sad and it will be strange not seeing Dave in goal.
 
Glad he took this path. Whoever handled this DDG issue should be first out of the door when the new owners take over.
 
Was unreal for years - then dropped some levels. Time to move on.

Thanks for the service.
 
Thank you, Dave. Fantastic goalkeeper and United legend.
 
RIP Dave. A class keeper and man, shambolic how the club did this to him, deserved a proper send off.
 
My keeper. Hope the abusers don't suddenly get all gracious.
 
Good luck, Dave. Looking forward to his successor.

Shambolic handling by the club but what's new there.
 
Big Dave will always be regarded a Manchester United legend in my eyes. A rock in some of our most difficult periods over the past decade and more. An absolutely spectacular shot stopper who unfortunately coudn't adapt to the direction we are heading and it's time we both moved on.
