Rio Ferdinand has praised the 'outstanding' David De Gea after the goalkeeper confirmed his Manchester United departure on Saturday.
De Gea announced the decision via his social media channels on Saturday afternoon, calling time on a 12-year spell at United. The 32-year-old's contract expired last weekend, with player and club unable to find an agreement over a new deal.
The Spain international's future had become increasingly uncertain after a number of high-profile errors last season, with manager Erik ten Hag eyeing a new first-choice option in the summer market and figures inside the club keen to move on. But despite a disappointing final campaign, Ferdinand insists De Gea will go down a legend.
