De Gea was the final survivor of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, but now, twelve years after arriving at the club from Atletico Madrid, he will start a new phase of his career.
On his social media pages, the 32-year-old posted a confirmation that he was leaving the team and thanked the fans while wishing the team luck in the future.
The veteran received a deluge of tributes when his passing was made public as admirers expressed their sentiments for him. The icon was also praised by his former Manchester United teammates.
The conversation began with a touching tweet from Casemiro, who only shared the pitch with De Gea for one season.

You were here from my breakthrough, good luck with your next step brother, Marcus Rashford wrote in the caption of a picture from his amazing rookie season on Instagram.
De Gea deserves to be given a befitting send-off in front of the Old Trafford supporters, according to Bruno Fernandes, who is thought to be one of the goalkeeper’s closest pals at the club.
You already know how much I appreciate you and will miss you, bro,” Fernandes wrote on Instagram.
“You deserved to say goodbye at the stadium with all the fans cheering you for all the beautiful memories,” he continued.
“You created history at the club, and no one can take that away from you. Your name will never be forgotten. Best wishes for you and your family in the future.
With numerous Player of the Year honors and innumerable records to his credit, De Gea departs United as one of the modern era’s greatest players.
In his final season, he passed Peter Schmeichel to become the club’s all-time leader in clean sheets, and it’s quite improbable that anyone will ever supplant him. One of De Gea’s alleged closest pals at the club, Bruno Fernandes, argued that De Gea deserves a dignified send-off in front of the Old Trafford supporters.
On Instagram, Fernandes said, “You know what I think about you and how much I will miss you bro.”
