He left Old Trafford as a free agent last summer following a 12-year spell there despite winning the Golden Glove last term.

United infamously released De Gea on his wedding day in June and he is still yet to find a new club.

The 33-year-old was linked with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Shabab and Newcastle following an injury to their No.1 Nick Pope but neither move materialised.

More recent reports have emerged that he could be heading back to his homeland to join Real Betis.

De Gea has remained living in Manchester throughout his time out, and even watched United’s women play, while he struggled to land a new job.

The 45-capped Spain international has continued to stay in shape by training alone.

Earlier this week he teased a return by issuing a three-word update on his future as he shared a video of himself training.

That clip was filmed at his local non-league side Altrincham, who are battling for promotion via the National League play-offs.

De Gea has now dropped another hint that a move could be on the cards by sharing another video along with a “loading” graphic of himself training on the pitch at their J Davidson Stadium.

Meanwhile, United’s legendary former goalie Edwin van der Sar recently offered the ex-Atletico Madrid ace his support.

The Dutchman recalled how he was in a similar scenario after leaving Juventus in 2001 but eventually joined Fulham before heading to Old Trafford and winning the Champions League.

Commenting on another training clip posted by De Gea, Van der Sar wrote: “David, keep the faith and believe as I had something similar in 2001 and look what that brought me in the end!”

Meanwhile, Liverpool legend Graeme Souness recently suggested that United boss Erik ten Hag made a mistake in letting the stopper leave on a free and bringing in Andre Onana.

He said: “You need to prioritise. You have to try and strengthen where you really need players.

“Did they really, really need to spend that money on a goalkeeper when they had De Gea who was still a very good goalkeeper for Man United?

“De Gea was still a top goalkeeper. Every goalkeeper will make a mistake.

“They’ve spent £70m [£47.2m] on a new goalkeeper but are they really playing any differently now, just because Onana is better on the ball?

“That money should have been spent elsewhere and been more productive. The recruitment has been pretty average.”
