Legendary Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson enjoys catch-up with David de Gea as Spanish goalkeeper prepares for Old Trafford return with Fiorentina

Fiorentina's official X account shared a set of pictures showing De Gea and Ferguson reuniting. The pair sat down together and appeared to engage in something of a trip down memory lane ahead of a pre-season friendly between the Serie A club and United this weekend.

De Gea was signed by Ferguson in 2011 and played 80 times under the legendary Scotsman. De Gea went on to spend over a decade at the club, making 545 appearances in goal for the club, and could fairly be termed an iconic figure himself.

Under Ferguson's management, the Spaniard became a Premier League champion, although that was his only trophy during his reign. Afterwards, he won the FA Cup in 2016, the Carabao Cup in 2017 and 2023 and the Europa League in 2017.

De Gea is preparing for the season ahead. After their clash with United at Old Trafford, Fiorentina face a Conference League play-off against an opponent that is yet to be determined.
