In a jaw-dropping development that no one saw coming, David De Gea is officially back at Manchester United, turning down a shock return to another Premier League club to rejoin the Red Devils in what insiders now confirm was “a long-planned move” secretly orchestrated with Erik ten Hag. 🔁🧤
🧠 What Just Happened?
De Gea, who had been a free agent since leaving United last summer, stunned the football world by rejecting multiple offers, including a very tempting one from a rival PL side.
In an exclusive leak, it’s been revealed that De Gea and Ten Hag stayed in close contact, with the Dutch boss quietly preparing his return behind the scenes.
A source close to the dressing room claimed:
> “He didn’t just leave — this was calculated. He was waiting for the perfect time to come back and help the club.”
🤯 Reaction:
The players are said to be in shock, many only finding out when De Gea walked into Carrington this morning.
Interestingly, new sporting director Amorim wasn’t surprised, reportedly aware of the “hidden handshake” deal between Ten Hag and the Spanish legend.
Fans online are flooding social media with emotional tributes:
> “Welcome home, legend.” 🥹
“It never felt right without you.” ❤️
🔴 Why It Matters:
With uncertainty around the goalkeeper position and Onana’s form under scrutiny, De Gea’s return adds experience, stability, and emotional weight to United’s squad.
The deal is expected to be short-term with the option to extend based on performances and role in the dressing room.
This moment feels like a movie — a legend returns when his club needs him most

Welcome back, David De Gea. 🧤🔥
