David De Gea's teammates have delivered a goodbye message to the Spaniard after it was confirmed earlier today that he has left Manchester United.

The Spaniard joined Manchester United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 for a fee worth £18.9 million. 

The goalkeeper made a total of 545 appearances and kept a clean sheet of 190 for Manchester United.

De Gea played a significant role in many of the team's victories, including the 2012–13 Premier League championship and the most recent victory in the 2022–23 Carabao Cup final.

As the news emerged earlier this afternoon, sincere remarks from his teammates have poured in on social media.
