Ex-Man Utd goalkeeper David de Gea, 33, gives fans three-word update on future after nearly a year unemployed
FORMER Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has issued a three-word update on his future.
The Spaniard left Old Trafford as a free agent last summer following a 12-year spell with United.
He initially agreed to stay at the club by negotiating a contract extension, but officials withdrew the deal before it was signed.
Almost a year on from his dramatic departure, De Gea is still yet to find a new club.
The 33-year-old has been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and the Saudi Pro League in recent months.
But he is still waiting for the perfect move.
De Gea has been training alone since last summer while biding his time.
And he took to Instagram this week to give fans an update.
The goalkeeper posted a video of himself training with a three-word caption that read: “I’ll be back.”
De Gea has recently been linked with a free transfer to La Liga side Real Betis.

Victory his never been less glorious than this for Man Utd, says Dave Kidd
By Dave Kidd
PROBABLY only Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United could book a place in an FA Cup final while hanging their heads in shame.
Minutes after the final whistle of this ridiculous semi-final, Coventry’s magnificent underdogs were performing a lap of honour to their cheering fans — while most of United’s players and supporters had disappeared.
Then the Wembley PA system started blaring out ‘Glory, Glory Man United!’ and everybody started laughing out loud.
Victory has never been less glorious.
As a party-starter, it fell flat. As a stab at dark humour, it was sensational.
Even by United’s standards of low farce this was ridiculous.
Now even the unlikely scenario of a final victory over City is unlikely to save Ten Hag’s job.
After all, Louis van Gaal was axed days after United last won this competition in 2016 and his side were never as bad as this current lot.

Manuel Pellegrini and his team side are planning to contact the former United star’s representatives regarding his situation.
The Spaniard will likely have to lower his demands considering his age and the fact he’s been out of the game for a year.
