David De Gea relished a date night with wife Edurne Garcia as he contemplates over a possible return to Manchester United.
De Gea has been a free agent since he was released by Manchester United at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Sources revealed this week that Manchester United are already admiring the prospect of bringing him back to Old Trafford.
De Gea, 32, twice teased a return to the 20-time Premier League champions with a puzzling posts on X (formerly known as Twitter), on Thursday, October 26, 2023.
David De Gea was also seen in a picture shared on his account alongside his former teammates at the club.
Now, the Spanish stopper has shown he is still in Manchester as he enjoyed a lunch date with his wife Edurne Garcia.
De Gea posted a picture of himself and wife Edurne sharing a glass of bubbles.
He captioned the photograph with the words “My date”.
Edurne was not to be left out as she shared a short footage of the pair having their after-meal coffee.
She captioned the post with “love you” as well as adding that they were dining in Manchester.
When did Edurne Garcia and David De Gea get married?
The happy couple tied the knot in July 2023, in a colourful wedding ceremony.
Manchester United released stalwart goalkeeper De Gea after 12 seasons on July 1, 2023.
De Gea was desperate to stay at Old Trafford and agreed to a huge paycut in his £375,000-a-week salary.
However, Manchester United ignored him as they took that offer off the table, and even asked him not to join another team until replacement Andre Onana signed.
De Gea has been without a club since leaving United. It remains to be seen if the English club can convince him to rejoin the club.
He has been linked with plenty of clubs in recent months, including several from the Saudi Pro League.
He was also touted as a target for Bernabeu Outfit Real Madrid and German giants Bayern Munich earlier in the summer.
Now, with Andre Onana set to be unavailable for potentially eight games due to his exertions in the African Cup of Nations with Cameroon, the Red Devils have realized they might just need the services of De Gea.
Stats indicate that Manchester United might have made a mistake in allowing De Gea to leave after Onana’s horrendous start to life at Old Trafford.
With Onana set to leave for the Nations Cup, United would be left with Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton as their goalkeeping options during that period.
Bayindir also moved to Old Trafford in the summer as he completed a £4.3million move from Turkish side Fenerbache.
David De Gea is still available via free agency. He has amassed over 180 clean sheets in 535 appearances.
Who is Edurne Garcia?
Edurne Garcia was born on 22 December 1985 in Madrid, Spain. She is a singer, actress and TV presenter. She is also a popular figure on Spanish television.
How did they meet?
They first crossed paths in 2010 in Spain. The couple started dating in 2014 when David moved to England and have been inseparable ever since.
In 2016, David de Gea and his wife made their relationship more public, attending events together and sharing intimate moments of their life on social media.
In March 2020, the couple announced their engagement. They eventually got married at Menorca Island on July 1, 2023.
