He was a champion at United, but made terrible mistakes and is now trying to lift his career

David de Gea, the former Manchester United goalkeeper, has embarked on a new chapter in his career with Italian side Fiorentina. The Spanish shot-stopper, who spent 12 years at Old Trafford, has been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League for over a decade.

De Gea's career at Manchester United was marked by numerous accolades, including multiple Premier League Golden Glove awards. His ability to make spectacular saves earned him a reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, in recent seasons, his form had dipped, leading to questions about his future at the club.

Following his departure from Manchester United, De Gea took a short break from football, considering retirement. Ultimately, the allure of the game proved too strong, and he decided to continue his career in Italy. Fiorentina, known for their passionate fanbase and rich history, has welcomed De Gea with open arms.

From England to Italy

The Spaniard's arrival at the Viola comes at a time when the club is looking to re-establish itself as a force in Italian football. De Gea's experience and ability to command his penalty area will be invaluable assets to the team.
