David De Gea trains at English club as unemployed former Man Utd star hints at comeback

DAVID DE GEA has hinted he may be about to return to football after taking part in a training session at an English non-league club.

The Spanish goalkeeper was part of the last title-winning Manchester United squad.

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.
