David De Gea, the talented Spanish goalkeeper, has officially left Manchester United after 12 seasons at Old Trafford.
The 32-year-old took to social media on Saturday to pen a heartfelt farewell message to the devoted fans of the Premier League club.
“I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters,” De Gea wrote on social media.
“I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years.
“We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride every time I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestowed upon a few lucky footballers.”
“It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here,” De Gea said.
“I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together. Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.
“Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me. We’ve seen it all.”
