And now the Spaniard has broken his silence on the matter with a post on X (formerly twitter).

De Gea took to the social media platform to simply post a single inquisitive emoji leaving fans wondering about his return.

Man Utd are considering asking their former keeper to return amid concerns over squad depth when Andre Onana heads to the African Cup of Nations in January.

Onana was brought in this summer by Erik ten Hag and Co for £47m while De Gea was released following 12 years at Old Trafford.

But the Manchester giants were caught off guard by the Cameroon No1’s decision to come out of international retirement and are now assessing their options.

United have already bought Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce for £4.3m but Tom Heaton would be the only other stopper at the club during the Afcon tournament.

De Gea has been training privately since his contract with the 13-time Premier League champions expired.

But he has been unable to land himself a new home despite reports of interest from all round Europe.
