Manchester United have bizarrely requested that David de Gea does not sign for a different club despite letting him leave as a free agent.
The Spaniard officially departed Old Trafford on Friday upon the expiry of his contract. United were initially keen to tie him down to a new deal and an agreement was found on fresh terms on reduced wages.
De Gea had put pen to paper on a new contract, only to see the Red Devils retract that offer. A new agreement has not yet been found, leading to the goalkeeper’s departure, but United are still making their demands even following his exit.
