  WHAT HAPPENED?

  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 released as a free agent.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  De Gea had been in Manchester for 12 years, taking in 545 appearances and breaking the club’s clean sheet record. He was, however, allowed to move on as £47 million ($58m) was invested in snapping up Cameroon international Onana from Inter.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Onana has endured an error-strewn start to life with the Premier League giants – with another costly error made in a 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League – and claims that several members of United’s squad are “fuming” at the decision to let De Gea go.

  WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

  United have made their worst start to a Premier League season – collecting just six points from five games – and Onana has conceded 14 goals through six appearances. De Gea, meanwhile, remains a free agent despite his pedigree and still being just 32 years of age.
