‘Still seething’ – Man Utd players ‘fuming’ at David de Gea dumping after error-strewn start to life at Old Trafford from £47m goalkeeper Andre Onana

The Red Devils decided that the summer of 2023 was the perfect time in which to freshen up their goalkeeping department. With long-serving De Gea reaching the end of his contract, the four-time Player of the Year at Old Trafford was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/david-de-gea-next-club-after-man-utd/bltacea35d91fd1f547" target="_blank">released as a free agent</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

De Gea had been in Manchester for 12 years, taking in 545 appearances and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/david-de-gea-beats-peter-schmeichel-clean-sheet-record-181-carabao-cup-final/blt45d5f4969f5d64bb" target="_blank">breaking the club’s clean sheet record</a>. He was, however, allowed to move on as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/mistakes-david-de-gea-man-utd-andre-onana-warning-rio-ferdinand-55m-transfer-inter-goalkeeper/blt1b9d669e6a83adcf" target="_blank">£47 million ($58m) was invested in snapping up Cameroon international Onana</a> from Inter.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Onana has endured an error-strewn start to life with the Premier League giants – with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-bayern-munich-andre-onana-rasmus-hojlund/bltb41703f4af460af7 " target="_blank">another costly error made in a 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich</a> in the Champions League – and <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24077950/man-utd-squad-fume-de-gea-treatment-onana-nightmare/ " target="_blank">The Sun</a> claims that several members of United’s squad are “fuming” at the decision to let De Gea go.

DID YOU KNOW?

United have made their worst start to a Premier League season – collecting just six points from five games – and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/fear-of-god-andre-onana-ball-playing-antics-man-utd-gary-pallister-nervous-david-de-gea/bltb576afe27280d883" target="_blank">Onana has conceded 14 goals</a> through six appearances. De Gea, meanwhile, remains a free agent despite his pedigree and still being just 32 years of age.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
