An insider reveals why United didn't renew David de Gea’s contract

The truth regarding David De Gea's departure and the contract offers he purportedly received has been exposed by club insiders. According to the Manchester Evening News, De Gea was never offered a new contract by Manchester United, contrary to previous claims. De Gea confirmed his departure from the club on Saturday, and it appears that United have already picked Inter Milan custodian Andre Onana as his straight successor. According to club insiders, no official contract offer was made to the 32-year-old custodian, and De Gea has deliberated on his future at the conclusion of the 2022/23 season.

United and De Gea both decided that it was time to split ways, with manager Erik ten Hag eager to complete the acquisition of Onana before the start of their pre-season tour. United may need to boost their offer, but they remain confident about retaining the Cameroonian custodian, who was instrumental in his team's run to the Champions League final last season. Personal arrangements with Onana are claimed to have been agreed upon, leaving just the transfer cost to overcome.
