Not sure why the main De Gea thread was closed (am assuming due to Onana’s midweek clanger…) but feel this story merits discussion.

It’s concerning that last seasons top earner is even thinking about this in his prime years.
It doesn’t surprise me though, he looked really unhappy the past couple of years - I suspect he’s just fallen out of love with the game and this is a nice way for him to spin it.
Nothing wrong with that of course if the acts how he feels, but it’s damning that our last three top earners were either so past their prime they had to move to Saudi, have discipline issues (Sancho) or seemingly can’t be bothered with the game at all anymore.
edit: since a couple of posters have singled out my use of the word 'prime' I've changed this to 'prime years' since a 32 isn't old for a keeper, I'm not suggesting he is at his peak. Either way, it's comment worthy that United's highest earner as of two months ago is considering leaving the game entirely with potentially many years of his career still to go.
