It seems Manchester United fans are, in the main, in agreement over David de Gea’s exit - it’s the right time but the club have gone about it the wrong way.
He is yet another player in the last few years who has left for nothing. Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic all left last summer for a combined total of £0 after initially costing £168m together.
United are already playing with a tight budget this summer amid Financial Fair Play concerns and will need to fund arrivals from sales. An ideal scenario would be selling a player in the same position as who they are trying to bring in, but with De Gea leaving for nought it makes finding his replacement harder.
