**David de Gea Was Ready to Return to Manchester United on One Condition**

The former Manchester United goalkeeper was reportedly prepared to make a stunning return to the club, but only if Erik ten Hag left his post as manager.

David de Gea worked under Ten Hag for a year before his contract expired, and the Spaniard wanted to move back to United, but only if Ten Hag was no longer in charge.

De Gea played under Ten Hag for one season before his contract was allowed to expire, leading to a sour end to his 12-year relationship with the club.

However, after Andre Onana’s struggles as United’s new No.1, fans called for De Gea’s return, prompting the goalkeeper to consider a return to the club.

According to reports, De Gea would only return to United if Ten Hag and former football director John Murtough were no longer present at the club.

Despite interest from top European and Saudi Arabian sides, De Gea decided to take a season out of football and wanted to return to United, but only if the conditions were met.

The 33-year-old was left upset by the actions of both Ten Hag and Murtough, who oversaw his unceremonious departure from the club.

De Gea has maintained his sharpness by undergoing private goalkeeping sessions, often sharing clips on social media.

The goalkeeper has been presented with offers from Saudi Arabia, USA, and Italy, and recently posted a cryptic hourglass figure on social media, hinting that he may soon unveil his next destination.

De Gea made 545 appearances for United after originally joining under Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign.
