After De Gea's departure, United's longest serving players

Manchester United is going through a rebuilding process, since the arrival of Erik Ten Hag, the club has had to make many changes in order to get back to winning ways, so everyone hopes that this new era that the team is living will serve to achieve the titles that they have not been able to get for more than a decade. 

During this process, the Dutch coach has had to make many complicated decisions, which no other coach was willing to make, because during his first year he has let go two legends of the club, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and David de Gea, the latter after 12 years defending the goal, this has certainly shown the vision and level of commitment that Ten Hag has with this institution, as it is not an easy task to go through a complete renovation. 

The departure of the Spanish goalkeeper has marked a before and after for the Red Devils, as the club no longer has players managed by Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time since the 73/74 season, which indicates that a new era is approaching, so the board hopes that players with more years of experience can perform well and emulate what was achieved in the golden era of the team. 

At the same time, Erik Ten Hag continues to make signings that can fit in with his system of play, but also with the vision he has for the future, because after winning the Carabao Cup last season, the fans are demanding more important titles for this campaign that is about to begin.
