A Manchester United legend defends De Gea and criticizes the club

The continuation of David De Gea within Manchester Utd it got complicated. When it seemed that the goalkeeper was going to renew the contract that ends this June 30, the British club backed off for a while and made him a low offer, according to some British media.

Due to the situation, a legend of united as Ferdinand River He came out in defense of the Spanish. “He has never brought an ounce of problems to the club. He has never brought the club into disrepute. He is an exceptional professional and a great person. He is one of those guys”, he said.

Ferdinand already commented”David you must be sitting there thinking: ‘I never dreamed I would leave the club this way, this way. It all comes down to communication. Little appreciation. Little understanding. To think that we probably need to do it better. You owe it to a player who’s been around long enough to make sure he leaves the club on at least half-decent terms.”

And he also said that “whether you think it’s good enough or not for Manchester Utd This is something that can be argued. He has been in this club for 12 years, the same as me. Sometimes he was the best player on the team. And in some of those years, he had moments where he didn’t do well. Sometimes he lost a bit of form, but overall he served the club very well.”

In his opinion, “I was a bit disappointed with how the club handled it. It was a matter of communication. I think the Manchester Utd have to learn from it. They have made mistakes in the past by letting go of good players who were not treated properly. Nobody has the divine right to leave a team in their own way, but you want your players, especially those who have been there for a long time and have served the club well, to leave with a good taste in their mouths. I see more and more players leaving with a bitter taste, and that’s not good. I don’t think it’s fair to the footballer.”
