    Sad to see him go, it is an end of an era. Surely we need a goalie that fits Ten Hag playing style but I hope our fan base don’t turn nasty on him. He was a god send for those post SAF years.

      He absolutely was. A dedicated servant of the club and gave his all. Yes he made some mistakes over the years but no doubt a club legend

    Full message for those without Insta:

    I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters.

    I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride everytime I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.

    It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.

    Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.

    Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me.

    We’ve seen it all. 🤘🏼❤️

    It hurts. I understand that we need to move on but he’s been a rock for so many years and he’s been so great through it all. Will always love him.

    Sad to see him go but on a bit more positive note this prob means that the Onana deal is done. Regardless, props to dave for all those years. I really wish we won a champions league medal with us

    It’s definitely time to move on now, but it’s sad to see him go. Dave was a bright light during some dark times for the club, he saved our asses countless of times.

    Thanks for everything David <3

    Schmeichel, Van Der Sar, De Gea. Three legendary keepers in my lifetime. Honour to watch them all.

    It’s been a while since his first season flapping at corners to winning PL. I’ll miss him.

      He was with us for 12 years mate. The goalkeeper in United history with most appearances and most clean sheets. Even if its time for a change it’s bizarre how we ended it all. True legend.
