United legend who consoled de Gea, surprised everyone and is not David Beckham

The 2022-2023 season is officially over for Manchester United with the last game of the campaign concluded, and although it didn't end as the fans would have liked, this defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup final could be used by the Red Devils board and Erik ten Hag to define the team's departures in the next transfer market, and after today's game David de Gea has been one of the players pointed out as the main responsible for the defeat.

The 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper was unable to contain City's attack and conceded the fastest goal in the history of FA Cup finals, so fans have shown their annoyance towards de Gea through social media.

Throughout the years in which David de Gea has played for the Red Devils he has made big mistakes in various tournaments, mistakes that have cost de Gea dearly and that have remained in the memory of the fans who after the FA Cup final pointed to de Gea as one of the big culprits of the defeat.

However, de Gea has also had great performances defending the Red Devils' goal and there is no denying that he is a goalkeeper who has entered the Old Trafford history books, so he has the support of other legends who have played for the club throughout history.

The legend who consoled de Gea

After the FA Cup final at Wembley, David de Gea was consoled by Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel who approached the Spanish goalkeeper to chat with him as the Manchester City players received their winners' medals, according to Samuel Luckhurst.
