Rio Ferdinand Discusses David De Gea’s Situation At Man Utd!

[@mzzzzz2179]

Arsenal fan here. De Gea has single headedly saved your team game after game, season after season. Some of the disrespect he gets is completely shocking and embarrassing. He's been your best player for many seasons, he's been an amazing servant for the club, a definite a legend. Show him some respect!

[@rickbalboa3758]

Agreed he is world class shot stopper but in todays game you need to be more than that. He should have a better send off he's a legend

[@mzzzzz2179]

@@rickbalboa3758 Tbf, the passing from the back so rarely ever works!

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

The last time he was consistently good was probably 2018. After that he has been way too inconsistent and lost us games in the latter stages of cups

[@rickbalboa3758]

Tell that to keepers who can beat the press with a ball out to a winger or full back

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

​@ANGELOFDARKification he saved u a record amount of points literally 2 seasons ago lol?

[@WallieTheRed]

Best shot stopper I have ever seen after going to old trafford for 30 years. It's just a shame he hasnt got all the modern attributes to rest of his game. Fantastic servant through a tough time at the club. Will always be held in the highest regard by real United fans

[@FuckFeminists]

Unfortunately, Ten Hag is about as far as it is possible to get from a real United fan.

[@WallieTheRed]

@@FuckFeminists I understand his decision tbh. He did offer him a contract but he does cost us games sometimes with his limited ability on the ball and poor distribution. It's a shame he's had to go tho.

[@doreenjonkers8533]

Fully agree you 100%correct we need to show the man some respect

[@Spacecowboyy69]

De gea won us more points over the last 3 season than any other player

[@rogermoore3991]

De Gea deserves a proper send off. He is respected by the real reds, we all love him. Wish him all the best for the future. Legend 1Gea

[@sgt_chugganuggz]

This is why he was a leader at our club ,good on you big rio

[@vsmart9]

De Gea's greatness is in the fact he had take care of Maguire in front of him.

Whilst trying to sabotage Martinez and Varanes efforts this season to cover his glaring weaknesses

[@jakokoth]

As a Man Utd fan, it is absolutely disgraceful. The man would have won trophies had he left for Madrid. He stuck it out with those God-awful teams and this is his reward for that sacrifice!

[@damianbrowne847]

Shows the lack of planning by the board since Gill and Fergie left 😢

[@FuckFeminists]

The lack of honour, certainly.

[@ImaSMACKHEAD982]

The board dont care

[@MrZeroFksGiven]

The guy deserves a respectable send off for what he’s done for United

[@Its_JustKai]

Rio u shld respect Degea he were the best shot stopper you ever played along in your time!

[@maxcsw5809]

Seaman? Van der Sar?

[@markgarfield1975]

Very well said and worded exactly how I feel he's been the best no1 we could have hoped to have in the time since Fergie left if he stays great if he goes good luck with your future endeavours.

[@premierleague_itk2626]

He deserves a send off...a testimonial ,saved us countless years best united player 5 years on the bounce, disgraceful. The best united player since fergie era

[@thesoultwins72]

It's absolutely disgraceful the way the club have treated David De Gea......spot on analysis Rio.

[@athulkrishnamanojc]

Tbh if de Gea wasn't there we would be playing in the second division now 😢

[@anonymousMotivator2023]

I think to make things right. Bring him back to old Trafford as a guest, give him a proper send off in front of the fans. He was a great servant and keeper for years, yes made some errors but thats part of keeping. Always been a saviour, without him utd would be mid table some seasons.

[@caydennaidoo1468]

Couldn’t have agreed more

[@jordan7339]

I’m a Arsenal fan and I have to admit that de gea in the last 12 seasons was the best player you had for at least 6 seasons out of the 12.

[@g0rgeos]

De Gea legend

[@deesingh3583]

Roy Keane mentioned many times before of how disrespectful Man United is towards long serving players.

[@krishanuable]

Rio is the only one who speaks the Truth..

[@NoNetPlays]

He just spoke a massive lie in his 'Qatar imminent' vid. Hes a football legend but his wild takes can be so rash. I want De Gea to stay but i defo wouldnt say Rio Ferdinand is the only one who speaks the truth...

[@sailyousuf]

David De Gea still has few more good seasons left at a top club whatever future holds for him I wish him well .

[@AttackingFootballPod]

100% deserves a better send off. Same as Rio, really.

[@TheNasa85]

United should at least offer him a testimonial match this summer.

[@arunicacoffee1270]

Hopefully United will give Degea a testimonial match

[@SuperDan3232]

De gea must feel hurt after the way he’s been treated by the club and by the fans!! Been an awesome player for United over the years !! It just goes to show how shallow the games gone now . Money money money 💰

[@kevrenshaw6177]

I want a player who is happy to be where he wants to be.. nothing more, nothing less.

[@davidrutter7029]

What a fantastic goal keeper. I don't think we should let him go. We wouldn't have ended up third in the premier league without him.

[@utsavdahal6314]

I cant believe that we didnt give de gea a proper farewell. I hope he would come to old trafford to get a proper farewell he deserves. Thank your for your services numero uno. I apologise to you on the behalf of my club.

[@paulheywood2116]

Yes he should and get a testimonial

[@gavinmitchell4477]

Here here Rio.

[@otb6341]

Personally happy he is leaving and think it suits both. However he deserved a better send off. The club does this though unfortunately.

[@harrydavid8333]

He should have been given the opportunity to walk around old Trafford after his last game, wave to the fans and make a speech. I think it's time for him to go, because even as a shot stopper he's no longer elite, but should have been handled with class.

[@qisiangng1611]

De gea needs a testimonial match!

[@les6702]

He’s been a total professional since he arrived was the best player and kept United in a lot of the games. Show him respect

[@inBODwetrust13]

Lol

[@mooricioo]

The way he had to leave the club is a disrespect to him and the sacrifices he has done for the club. Yet the club struggle to sign players. Now even important players of the club look like pawns. A better fairwell is deserved.

[@tellall23]

that's why Real is number 1...Sergio Ramos had a similar situation, but still got his proper send-off

[@bayreuth79]

Profound wisdom as ever from Mr Cliche

[@cathwalstow2342]

To me he is has been a great Goalie he should stay at MU people opinions always want the best for there club But Remember nobody is perfect we all make mistakes it’s Wht u call being human give up with him ❤

[@Its_JustKai]

Rio how many times did David Degea saved all of ur BLOOPERS?

[@Its_JustKai]

True he's an unreal servant to this club so handle him wth care in his departure?

[@mohammedyusufal-hindi]

De Gea is in the same league as Schmeichal and van der Saar.

[@davep4240]

Well, the way the club handled him leaving was absolutely appalling. It’s shameful. I can understand if the manager wants a different style of keeper but to just dismiss him without even saying goodbye was disgusting behavior.

[@MrChipz900]

Rio is footballs answer to Carl Froch

[@ManuntdRonnie]

Thank you Rio, you are absolutely right ❤

[@kall9042]

I love de gea probably the best shot stopper in the world and has been for years but… this is football and nothing lasts and tactics evolve.I would him to stay but we need a ball player gk De gea was the best at hes era when shot stopping was all a gk needed to do it’s changed now this is why United need a new number 1

[@Ashleyhad]

Should have a testimonial

[@olusogaoduselu4426]

As an Arsenal fan, I am miffed with the treatment the club gave David. He kept the club several times and the least would have been a decent exit but Man U just acted like Liverpool to Mane. Very sad and thus will not go unnoticed. Not good

[@RuhulAmin-sl8gy]

100% agree with Rio, he deserves to have better a send off after 12 years of service and their best player for 4 years. Huge disappointment to see this. It's not like Man Utd at all.

[@bjarkemadsboll]

Personally I fully agree that it’s time for a change. The style ETH wants from his keeper is just not suited to DDG’s skill set, and he has become a little too mistake-prone the last couple of years. BUT, the way the club has treated him in these negotiations by rescinding the contract offer, he had signed, is beyond shameful and honestly and embarrassing blemish on our club! So thank you, David, for saving our a**es again and again over the years, and for wearing the badge with honour and class

[@iceicebaby5224]

It’s sad to see many fans turned their back on DDG. They forgotten how many times he has saved us in the past. He could have gone to R Madrid but he stayed with United.

[@745ew35]

Wasn't it just the fax machine that stopped it and he wanted to leave? As an Arsenal fan i always hated him because he always had blinders vs us. He was once the best hands down. However he aint that guy no more and become more of a meme.

He's been amazing, and we love him!! But, we have to trust ETH, we can't afford to cloud judgement with sentiment... If we want to get back on top we have to accept that ruthless decisions will be made ...

Thats not the issue, its the way it's been handled that doesn't sit right. Not the first time these owners have treater our players badly on the way out.

[@ashhunt32]

@waynecatlin4198 it could have been handled ALOT differently. From what I understand is DDG has gone away to get married haven agreed a contract which then united have decided to stall on. If this was a one off I could see your point but it happens time and time again with these owners/board. Look at how Rio was told after the final game in the dressing room for example

[@stevenconnolly28]

The last link to the Fergie era and our board treat him this way. Disgraceful

[@martinageman6714]

You'd hope ten hag would have communicated to David that he's not in his plans some time ago. If not, then its all a shambles by him and the club. Basically holding out for a new keeper and if that doesnt happen then suddenly de gea will be given a new contract... Its better to just say goodbye to David early and put the pressure on the club to find the recruitment early. Unfortunately this club seems to be so far behind in how to make smart business instead of these sagas that always drag on for the whole summer every single time...

[@barrypos55]

Was treat abominably!!!!!! UNITED should hang their heads in shame.
