It is the end of an era for Manchester United following David de Gea's permanent departure. The Spaniard confirmed over the weekend that he would be leaving the club after his contract expired last month, bringing to an end his 12-year stay at Old Trafford.
De Gea, 32, was the last remaining playing member of the Sir Alex Ferguson regime and the last player at the club who had won a Premier League title with United.
It is a huge shame he left without the opportunity to be properly thanked for his service, and few fans would begrudge De Gea the opportunity to play a testimonial match in the future.
