  • Goalkeeper David de Gea's contract at Manchester United has expired
  • The former Atletico Madrid made some incredible saves during his stay at Man United
  • The Red Devils chiefs are expected to open up a discussion with him in the coming days

David de Gea's contract at Premier League giants Manchester United had officially expired and the Spanish goalkeeper is now a free agent for the very first time in the last 12 years even though the Red Devils still want him.

The 32-year-old is no doubt one of the best goalkeepers in the world considering his records at Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish national team.

De Gea has been with Manchester United since 2011 and has made more than 400 appearances for the Red Devils which is an incredible achievement for the Spaniard.

Many fans were expecting Manchester United chiefs to sort out De Gea's contract situation before the end of the season, but they were unable.

De Gea is a phenomenal goalie

Born in Madrid and raised in nearby Illescas, De Gea began his playing career with Atlético Madrid, rising through the academy system at the club before making his senior debut in 2009, aged 18.

De Gea made his first appearance for Manchester United in a 3–1 friendly win over Chicago Fire on 23 July 2011.

According to a video spotted on Twitter, De Gea's 15 most brilliant saves were shown to the world.

De Gea is now a free agent

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Manchester United are now without any member of their last Premier League-winning season after David De Gea officially left the club yesterday.

De Gea helped the club win the 2012/13 Premier League title in his first and legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season.

United have not won the title again since then, coming second twice, both to rivals Manchester City, under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Their best season since the Scottish departure was under Mourinho when they won the UEFA Europa League and the Carabao Cup in the Special One’s first season.
