David de Gea, now 33, signed a one-year contract with Fiorentina and insists he never considered retirement despite being out of action since leaving Manchester United.
David de Gea (33) recently signed a one-year contract with Fiorentina after missing the entire last season. The Spanish goalkeeper had been without a club since his contract with Manchester United expired in June 2023.
"I never considered retirement. Manchester United is a top club, and my heart will always be with this team. I never thought about retiring. It was hard to find motivation for a new chapter in life after 12 years at a top club like Manchester United. I finally found that feeling at Fiorentina," said De Gea, who played for the Old Trafford club from 2011 to 2023.
The Spanish goalkeeper made 545 appearances for Manchester United.
