Andre Onana’s heroic save against FC Kobenhavn has given Manchester United their first 2023–24 UEFA Champions League Group Stage victory, but with the Cameroonian soon about to leave for international duty, the Red Devils are looking at David De Gea. United may make a U-turn on their former goalkeeper and try to work out a deal with him to bring back the player on a short-term contract.
De Gea has not said anything about the situation, but the Spaniard did post a cryptic message on his Twitter account that has left the fans wondering.
David De Gea posts cryptic message amid United speculations
Manchester United allowed David De Gea to leave as a free agent in the summer of 2023. They then brought in former Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana for £48 million. Fans had high hopes for the Cameroonian, but a few mistakes from his side cost United some important matches. Though Onana helped the Red Devils win against FC Kobenhavn, the mistakes he committed against teams like FC Bayern Munich and Galatasaray made him a villain in the public eye.

In a photo uploaded to the Centerdevils Twitter account, we can see David De Gea with current club captain Bruno Fernandes. Apart from him, other players like Raphaël Varane, Victor Lindelöf, and Tom Heaton are also in the photo. The whole group is seen doing a little get-together over coffee with their former teammate.
We are yet to see if De Gea will make a return to the Premier League or not, but his addition to the club will surely change Manchester United’s standings in the current season.
