David De Gea Was Flattened After Running Into Physical Specimen Adama Traore

David De Gea Was Flattened After Running Into Physical Specimen Adama Traore

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea felt Adama Traore's strength and power in full flow last night.

The 30-year-old was badly winded by his Spain teammate during the second half of United's last-gasp 1-0 win over Wolves at Old Trafford.

De Gea had quickly thrown the ball into the path of Bruno Fernandes in an attempt to start a counter attack.

But as Traore was running back in, the two accidentally bumped into one another. It wasn't a collision at ferocious speed by any stretch but given it was against an absolute machine in Traore, De Gea certainly felt it.




He was on the ground in pain for a short while before requiring a bit of treatment from the physio. Traore was extremely apologetic and De Gea saw the funny side about the whole incident.

It's not as if De Gea was milking it, after all Traore is an absolute physical specimen and it's no surprise he's been approached by NFL teams.

He's undergone a ridiculous body transformation in recent years but claims he does not lift weights as part of his training regime.

He told MARCA: "I train every day with my physical coach, people ask if I do weights or on social media they ask if I take something or what I do, but I don't, it's just prevention and physical work, I don't do work to get muscle because I get muscle really quickly.

"No, I haven't lifted a single weight. I know people won't believe it, but it's true."
