After his transfer to Real Madrid collapsed at the last minute, David de Gea had to fear there would be some backlash from the Manchester United fans. However, after returning to the first team for our game against Liverpool, he was given a warm welcome by the supporters. De Gea has spoken about that moment in the club’s official magazine.
It was just incredible, the welcome that I received from all the Manchester United fans. It was a special game, a derby against Liverpool, so to have won at home, in that fantastic atmosphere, it was unforgettable! It was amazing. It’s difficult to be able to describe how I felt at that moment, even if I try to. I just want to thank all the fans for the support they’ve always given me since the first day I arrived here. It was just incredible.
