Fans are all saying the same thing after David de Gea intense training regime emerges

Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has posted a video of his intense solo training regime - and fans are all saying the same thing.

De Gea was a surprise departure from Old Trafford when his contract expired on June 30, despite both parties being in talks over a new deal for several months prior.

According to reports, De Gea agreed to sign a new contract on a much lower salary than his previous £375,000-per-week deal, only for United to withdraw that offer and submit an even further reduced proposal.

Therefore, the Spaniard left the club, with United signing Andre Onana from Inter Milan as his replacement. On deadline day, Altay Bayindir arrived from Fenerbahce as backup to Onana, with Dean Henderson moving the other way to Crystal Palace.

Two months on from his release, however, De Gea is yet to find a new club.

He was linked with a move to Real Madrid last month after Thibaut Courtois suffered an ACL injury, but Los Blancos eventually opted to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea instead.

In his Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano has described interest in the Spaniard from Europe as 'quiet', but adds that he received offers from Saudi Pro League clubs last month.

Now, De Gea has shown off his training regime as he continues to look for a new club.

The video, which the goalkeeper posted to his Instagram account, shows De Gea jumping over hurdles and doing press-ups, before transitioning into various goalkeeping-related exercises.

The end of the clip shows the Spaniard practicing his kicking - something which was deemed as one of his weaker attributes while at Old Trafford.

In response to the footage, fans all had the same thought on their minds.

One wrote: "Golden Glove winner and no-one has signed him. Disgraceful."

Another said: "Insane that no-one has snapped him up."

A third added: "A keeper of his quality should not be without a club. Madness."

Meanwhile, another fan questioned: "There are so many bang average keepers about, how has this bloke not got a club?"

After signing Onana, United boss Erik ten Hag effectively explained why United had replaced De Gea despite him winning the Premier League's Golden Glove award last term: "[Onana] is a great goalkeeper and has a different profile. That's why we wanted to sign him.

"With him, something will change in our game."

Which club do you think David De Gea will sign for? Let us know in the comments.
