Apparently, David Gea is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and his club status is pretty good. David Gea has a lot of experience compared to Onana. But one thing is a key factor in performance: age. In addition, if you become old, you will definitely be lacking in your own performance status. Similarly, this happened to David Gea. He has a lot of experience and a brilliant ability to hold the ball in the net for Manchester United, but unfortunately, he became old and his performance is not at their prime level. Onana is young, and he has the ability to defend a goal. So in my perspective, it is the right decision by Manchester United coach Ten Hag.
I don't fully believe that De Gea lost his job at Manchester United due to a decline in form.
Last season De Gea kept 17 clean sheets in 38 Premier League matches, which was the second highest number of clean sheets during his career with Manchester United. While De Gea conceded 43 goals last season, it wasn't his fault alone. The performance of Manchester United's defenders may have been the cause, so I wouldn't blame him alone.
We know De Gea is no longer young and he is already 32 years old. It feels like De Gea still deserves a place in Manchester United's squad this season instead of letting him go without a club, that's clearly not the best way to honor his service.
