Over the last few days it’s emerged that Manchester United could be looking to reunite with former keeper David De Gea.
The Red Devils are concerned with current first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana, with the Cameroon international becoming significantly problematic.
Onana’s made some questionable decisions on the pitch throughout the season, resulting in goals being conceded.
With Onana being de Gea’s replacement as Erik ten Hag decided to let the former Spain international’s contract run out, many have wondered if United backed the wrong horse.
Now, the club are looking to rectify the situation with de Gea having an impressive first season back in football with Fiorentina, showing why he won United’s Player of the Season award four times.
United were looking to capitalise on the 34-year-old’s contract ending in the summer, hoping to line up a free transfer.
However, Fabrizio Romano has now blown these hopes out of the water.

Manchester United miss out on signing David de Gea
The journalist has reported that Fiorentina are looking to trigger an extension on his contract, seeing it run to summer 2026.
Having had a year out of football after leaving United, Fiorentina played it safe with de Gea, only signing a year-long contract to see how he fared throughout the season.
However, the Serie A side built in a 12-month extension in the hope that de Gea would come good and they could rely on the shot-stopper for another season.
Fiorentina are set to activate the option to extend David de Gea’s contract for one more season.
