Getting De Gea back is still a terrible idea, and I have said this probably a month ago when the rumours first started and saying it again. He is old, he is getting to be 34 or something, maybe more, makes no sense to hire someone who is that old.
Of course he would be much better than Onana, nobody questions that, but if you are a true United fan, you would remember his last year, his reflexes wasn't enough and he was having trouble. He worked hard on the season he didn't play, but then he got into Fiorentina and showed his hard work, but how long will that last? One more season? Two more seasons? I doubt he would do good for a long time, we are not going to see him do much all together, we need to remember that, they need someone younger.
I don’t see the need to bring De Gea back to Manchester United. The decision to part ways has already been made, United have to move on. If Onana is no longer m good enough for the team they can sort other options elsewhere, I believe De Gea is not the only good keeper available to Manchester United.
What's the point of bringing an old goalkeeper? They will build a top future squad for him to make the team shining again in the upcoming years? Besides he wasn't that good in the latest season.
Right now Manchester United is suffering, Onana was blamed for Lyon's game and was put aside against Newcastle and his substitute wasn't any better.
There is talks about Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton after their relegation but West Ham United wants him too. They have to offer enough money to bring him next season and close temporarily this goalkeeper headaches.
