David De Gea looks like he’s finally moving on from the club, with many fɑɴȿ upset after 12 years of the Spaniard, butone ex-United player who’s not bothered whatsoever is Roy Keane.
Erik ten Hagseems to have firmly made his mind up, De Gea isn’tManchester United‘s number one anymore. It’s going to be strange not seeing Dave between the sticks, but it seems like we’ve already found his replacement.
Andre Onanahas had very positive talks today with United andit appears a formal bid is going to be sent tonightfor the Cameroonian.
An єɴԀ of an era some may say. Enough to get certain fɑɴȿ sentimental, yes – but definitely notRoy Keane…
Keane doesn’t hold back on De Gea
Speaking on The Overlap (ViaMirror) the Irishman showed his true feelings about De Gea and pretty much confirmed that he was very on board with shipping him out of Manchester despite his longevity at the club.
“I’d move him on quickly. He wouldn’t be for me, he’s not going to get Manchester United back winning trophies, absolutely not. The idea that the players are patting him on the back is ridiculous, that’s his job,” Keane said.
“You wouldn’t keep him as a No. 2. He wouldn’t want that, he wouldn’t stay for that. He’s done okay, he’s won a few Player of the Year awards – but what big Ԁєɑł is that? It’s about what the team is achieving.
“I think he’s made far too many mistakes over the years. He was trying to leave the club for a few years ago and go to Real Madrid.”
Keane making his feelings very clear on the 32-year-old and we’ve got to say – we kind of agree.
Sentiment aside, De Gea is not the goalkeeper to take United to the heights they want to be reaching. You look around the clubs that have been winning trophy after trophy in recent years and there is always one common denominator – an astounding keeper.
Hopefully, Onana is the keeper to take United to those heights. We wish Dave all the best in the future and thank him for the time at the club – but, simply put, it’s time for a change.
