Since leaving Man Utd, De Gea has yet to find a new home. This player received many invitations from Saudi Arabia but refused them all. During Onana's absence, Man Utd only had two options for the goalkeeper position: Tom Heaton and Altay Bayindir, but both have yet to receive trust. They have too little time on the field and are not in good form.
Man Utd recruited De Gea on a short-term contract. I consider this a terrible way to treat the goalkeeper with the longest serving time in Man Utd history and the one who just won the Premier League Golden Glove. If he accepts a short-term contract until the end of the season, De Gea will reunite with his former teammates and coach Erik ten Hag. This time, he can prove who the real Man Utd goalkeeper is. Otherwise, he will continue to be abandoned by fans. But this is just a rumor, and we need time to confirm whether the information is accurate.

Yes, There is a big possibility that De Gea will reunite with his friends at Manchester United because there is a lot of news that confirms that manchester united will sign Him again in this winter transfer window. But apart from that, He is the best goalkeeper that Manchester united has ever had in the previous season and of course if de gea is plotted as a back-up for Onana, He will definitely not agree. but we will see the developments that occur between Him and Manchester united.

On the one hand, onana will probably miss playing for Manchester united at the start of next year because He will be defending the national team at the start of next year. And that could be what makes Manchester united management approach De gea. Hopefully De gea return to manchester united will not make the dressing room noisy and He will have to accept the fact that he will be a backup for onana.

After Manchester United Embarrassed their number 1 keeper without giving him a proper farewell, they're now going back to him, it's very disgraceful and the board controlling the team doesn't have any shame, if I were Degea i won't even consider moving there, but i know his love for the club could make him consider moving back to reunite with his former teammates and friends.

 I learnt that Onana would leave the team to go play for his Country in the Afcon and could be away for  a while about 9 matches an ld that's why United are seeking a replacement temporarily for Onana by going back to negotiate a temporal deal for David De Gea, this is something a lot of Manchester united would be a  happy about, seeing their former star that kept about 17 clean-sheets and won Goalie of the year

It seems De Gea is getting near to signing his contract with Macnshter United and he is going to come back to the team again. Since there was some news about De Gea joining Manchester United again, he published a new story on Instagram and said 'feeling good' maybe this is a positive signal for this player to join Manchester United.
In this case, Onana will be under pressure and there is even the chance for him to leave.

Next 10 to 15 years? Are you kidding me?

This is a Chelsea of 2023 we are talking about, with the Saudi Arabia Clubs that seem to have endless pits of money looking more and more interested in European League talents. I can bet if he stays at Chelsea for more than 6–7 years.

Nkunku? I don't think he is ever going to be good at Chelsea. Not a chance.

But indeed, some media outlets have reported this, one of which is The Sun, even though we know that The Sun is just a media outlet that sometimes raises issues that are in the news without caring whether it is true or not.
Even so, I think that even if Manchester United eventually want De Gea back, De Gea must have pride because after all he has been betrayed before and it would be very funny if he returned with a new clause.
Indeed, until now there have been no offers from other clubs for him but if he is serious and can train well then I think he will still not be difficult to get a club even though he is more than 30 years old.

Agree. Why we must hurry to compare them? Onana just joined Mann United, he played few matches only. We need to wait for this season to end first at least, so we can compare how's Onana first season and De Gea first season in Man United. But I assume we don't need to compare them, it won't result anything. If their performance is different, it is because the squad is different, too.

Gabriel Jesus gets injured? 
What I know, there are 2 injured players only in Arsenal squad. They are Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka.

I'm also not really sure that Ivan Toney will perform impressively again after he didn't play a long time. Arsenal also has Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, why Arsenal sign Toney? I think 2 strikers are enough for Arsenal. 

Arsenal is likely to sign Brentford's center forward Ivan Toney who will complete his 8 months ban because of FA betting rules breaches, the only problem is if he can still perform better after being off the pitch for that long interval but however if Arsenal succeeds in signing him in this January transfer window, it is gonna further Energize Arsenal's attack and will help relief Gabriel Jesus after he sustained a harmstring injury during Arsenal match with sevilla in the champions league group stage. Ivan Toney made a huge and brilliant performance for brentford and bringing him to the Arsenal team with boast Arsenal's attack. Source:

The signings of Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and David Raya has also aided Arsenal in achieving huge success in their matches so far and nothing boost a team consistency like signing new experienced players.

I think it's too early for Onana to be compared with De Gea because these two players have their own eras and also their own techniques in guarding the goal so they don't concede. If we have to compare, of course De Gea is better than Onana and we have to look at all of that from the whole season and individual achievements and the success in bringing Manchester United to glory at that time. Maybe it's best not to compare the two because they are different eras and different playing styles. So let's just enjoy Onana's good performance this season with Manchester United.

By the way, De Gea after the end of last season he hasn't found another team to play for. So, if this season he is without a team, he might have difficulty getting another team next season if he chooses to join according to the conditions he determines. Previously, many teams were interested in him but for some reason it didn't end in an agreement.

Chopo Mouting's ideal position is striker and winger although he can also be deployed at second striker but in some games even when there was Mane before him he was very comfortable on the left wing.
But it is difficult to happen now because for him, if he is played as a second striker it is very difficult because there is still Muller and Musiala, especially for now it looks like Bayern wants to give more time to Musiala in exploring his position.
For the striker there is also Kane who will remain the first choice and this left wing is also not possible for Chopo Mouting because Tuchel rarely displays 3 strikers in the matches he does.

With his options closed, there are only 2 choices whether he is willing to be on the bench or look for a new club that makes him a regular player and with Bayern's choice to try to sell him, he also indirectly has to find a new club from now on.

It's unlikely they will make him an offer to come back to MU again, they have a policy now that if you leave, you go. At least that's how it seems from the outside. Especially they have a pretty good goalkeeper at the moment, Onana is performing well and I still think he's the least to blame for all the silly goals conceded

Yep. If Bayern Munich thinks Choupo-Moting is enough to be the main striker, they won't look for a new striker. They also won't try to put Muller or other players to play as a striker. In fact, they signed Harry Kane, it means Choupo-Moting is just a substituted striker. Well, it is true that they probably targeted Haaland but Haaland prefers to move to Man City. That makes Bayern Munich to start about negotiating with Tottenham for Harry Kane at that time. Although Harry Kane isn't a young striker anymore, but he is still an ideal striker for Bayern Munich.

I know that Chopo Mouting can play in some positions. He can play as a center forward (striker), he can play as a second striker, he also can play as a left winger. As far as I know, his main position is a center forward (striker). Is his ideal position as a left winger? TBH, I never know that his ideal position is a winger.

IMO, this happens in every teams but I think Ten Hag options are too obvious that he is been selective when it comes to choosen of players, if Maguire happens to be in another team I'm not sure if he is going to be given second chance the way he had it with Ten Hag, but I'm impressed for how he turned out still.

Ten Hag need to work on his relationship, he can't hate all the players and be picky when it time for selection. For instance, look at Sancho situation nothing positive have been out from the day they started the misunderstanding, there are players but the available ones relationship is not solid but they don't point this out any time the team lose match.


De Gea contract was over and I don't think there is nothing absolutely wrong in letting go of De Gea but the mistake I thought they had some weeks back is the replacement, I wasn't too confident about their choice with Onana as the new lead goalkeeper but looking at their last two matches, I daft my hatt for him because Ten Hag said he needs some improvement and he actually did improve and help the team.

I actually don't really agree with this, it is possible that De Gea's performance has decreased, but when you look further, things like this happen because of the condition of the defence and some internal problems at Manchester United so he is like a scapegoat because Manchester United often concede the ball.
In addition, what I read in several articles before De Gea actually left Manchster United was that he was already prepared if De Gea's salary was reduced in the end but Manchester United seemed to turn a blind eye because they prioritised Onana. With this condition even though the decision is in De Gea's hands but it would be something funny if he again accepted a proposal from Manchester United because of the possibility of things like he got before repeating himself.

Seems impossible with David De Gea return to Manchester United on January due he has been free agent ability return when ever he want and Manchester United can play him but right now with impressive performed from  Andre Onana I don't think Erik ten Hag still need him. Difficult reach agreement deal with other European teams depend on David De Gea have large payment salary offering and its difficult for other team want to sign him.
Have one solution only, if want large salary better for David De Gea reach agreement deal with Saudi Pro League teams who will pay more expensive salary exactly with his position as free agent.

Regarding whether there was a mistake or not, it is not our authority to claim that it was a mistake by Ten Hag or Manchester United. First, United is in the refreshing stage for its players. plus, Ten Hag has a different style from other coaches. he wants to build an ideal team according to his version. That's why Ten Hag wants more modern goalkeepers. and that he did, replacing De gea with Onana. even though in reality, Onanan has not shown the stability of his performance. And that doesn't mean that when United released De Gea, this player was no longer good. It's just that the system that Ten Hag runs doesn't suit De Gae.

The question is, even if De Gae stayed with United, would they be much better? the answer is, not at all. because in reality, we don't know what will happen. for example, United suddenly had a problem with one of their players, namely Antony. then, Sancho. Plus, several players were injured. and most importantly, United's old striker played selfishly wanting to score goals for himself. even though, they now have Hojlund who needs support from his colleagues.
So, what happened to Kudu United as a whole is not simple. and what is certain is that Ten Hag is experiencing pressure in all directions. Well, for United to return to its performance like last season, they have to improve starting from within. teamwork, and mutual trust. because based on the system, Ten Hag is reliable, IMO.

I can’t agree less with you, once a prodigy is sold off to a new club many fans and pundits raises eye brows not thinking that some of this move are actually the best for his progression. This case of Cole Palmer is just same as that of Kelvin De Bruyne, not that the club doesn’t notice his brilliance but because there are other better players in his position, in this case there are players like Bernando Silva and Foden at his position. You don’t expect him to get the minutes he would have wanted with This two around.

Also many people will come with the intuition that it should be a loan spell, but if you look at Managers like Pep and Mourinho, they don’t believe in a player going out on loan because they feel that player will be under used. And this is true, we have seen many players going out on loan and hardly get the minutes they seek for. The other thing will be a buy back clause which no top club will accept in this era. So I see nothing bad in both parties going their separate ways

De Gea had a prosperous career with Manchester United but a problem stated when his performance began to drop and he refused to take a pay cut . It is normal for players to consider reducing their pay as they get older. I am sure the club wanted to keep the Spanish goalkeeper but his pay was one of the highest a goalkeeper earns in the world. The club has to go for a younger goalkeeper in the person of Onana.

United does not need to bring back De Gea because the Cameroonian stopper has shown some level of improvement. It is clear now that Onana just needs some time to get used to the EPL. I think De Gea should consider reducing his earnings and moving to a smaller club. But if he still wants to be one of the highest-paid goalkeeper, the Saudi Pro League will be willing to pay.

I feel, we don't the need to compare Onana and De Gea anymore, what I mean is that we can focus more on the future. Personally, I admit that what De Gea did during his decade in the Man United uniform is worthy of appreciation, and on the other hand, we haven't seen Onana performance for a full season and I feel it's necessary to do so. Onana's final save was not enough to cover up his blunder, but it really helped his confidence.

Replacing Onana in the middle of the season sounds impossible and even poses quite a big risk, this is only possible if Ten Hag no longer trains The Red Devils squad. Next, United will face city rival and defending EPL champion Manchester City in week ten, this could be an opportunity for Onana to prove his quality, and hopefully he doesn't make a mistake.

Cole Palmer is a very good prospect, he proved himself when he was given a Chace to play against Sevilla earlier this season, and i think if Pep Guardiola had his way Cole Palmer would had still been a Mancity player currently,however he made the right decision by giving him out to Chelsea where he get more playing time than at Manchester City cause he won't had been able to bench Bernardo Silva or foden in the midfield area currently, talk more of when Kelvin Debruyne returns from injury.

 However at his new club Chelsea he's currently playing fine and has caught the attention of his recent coach, Pouchettino to the top extent that he was convinced to allow him take the penalty kick for Chelsea when there's the like of Mudryk, Jackson and Sterling at the club,well his performance is good at Chelsea and he was part of the major reason they did well against Arsenal and got a draw.
