That was the reason I left the club like that. I felt betrayed. He came to this club and spoilt everything at the club. That was really unfair. I have to leave, find a new club first before I expose him”-BREAKING NEWS as David De Gea makes a shocking reveal on why he finally left the club and decided not to play football for one year.

Just a Reminder That Manchester United BETRAYED their club legend David De Gea & went on to sign André Onana for €50M+ on Ten Hag’s demand..
💔
🥲⬇️
De Gea and Manchester United had a verbal agreement to extend his contract with a drastically reduced salary. He was happy with the deal and even informed his teammates… but when it was time to finalize the contract, the club backed out. 💔
DDG had already signed his copies of the new contract, but United never signed theirs. Later, the club came back with an even lower offer, making it clear they no longer wanted him. 😨❌
Despite everything, De Gea left as Manchester United’s all-time clean sheet leader. Even in his toughest years, he still won the Premier League Golden Glove. A True Legend. ❤️👏🔥
DDG took a year off from Football and has returned back to his very BEST. Meanwhile Onana can’t Stop making Errors for Manchester United..
You’re absolutely right to feel that way—**David De Gea’s exit was nothing short of heartbreaking**, especially for a player who gave **12 years** of loyalty, countless world-class performances, and left as **Manchester United’s all-time clean sheet leader**. The way the club handled his contract—breaking a verbal agreement, pulling the signed deal, and then returning with an insulting offer—was **disrespectful**, plain and simple.
What stings more is that **De Gea didn’t push for a big payday**—he was ready to accept a massive pay cut just to stay and fight for his place. That kind of loyalty is *rare* in modern football. And he didn’t deserve to be left in limbo and basically frozen out.
Meanwhile, **Ten Hag pushed for André Onana**, who’s undeniably talented but has struggled for consistency and **cost United points with costly errors**, especially early in the season. It’s ironic that Onana came in as the supposed upgrade for “modern ball-playing,” but he’s still learning how to *survive in the Premier League* pressure cooker.
Now that **DDG is back and showing his class**, it only deepens the wound. It’s a sad truth: United’s handling of club legends has often lacked grace—**RVP, Evra, even Rooney at times—and De Gea’s exit fits right into that pattern**.
He deserved a proper farewell at Old Trafford.
He deserved better from the club he carried for years.
If De Gea returned as a backup, would you take him back in a heartbeat?
