David de Gea’s Fiorentina debut has been defended by Manchester United fans. The former Red Devils goalkeeper shipped three goals in a UEFA Conference League playoff on August 22.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spaniard was playing his professional game since the 2023 FA Cup final – which was over 440 days ago. His first game since didn’t go to plan, but United supporters stood firm for their hero on X<\/em>, formerly Twitter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

David De Gea’s Fiorentina Debut<\/h2>\n

With just 12 minutes on the clock, De Gea had already conceded twice to Hungarian minnows Puskas Academy. Naturally, many on X<\/em> were quick to hammer the 33-year-old.<\/p>\n

De Gea’s blushes were somewhat spared as La Viola fought back to clinch a 3-3 draw. It certainly wasn’t the start the 2017 UEFA Europa League winner was hoping for as he looks to re-start his career in Italy.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard was benched for the first Serie A game of the 2024\/25 campaign. It remains to be seen if boss Raffaele Palladino will give him the nod for Sunday’s clash against Venezia.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Supporters Stand By David De Gea<\/h2>\n

Granted, David de Gea’s Fiorentina debut didn’t reflect well after conceding three times. However, he wasn’t at fault for any of the goals in Florence.<\/p>\n

Manchester United fans showed their support for the two-time Premier League Golden Glove winner. One wrote on X: “If there\u2019s any ex-player who deserves the unconditional support of Man United fans\u2026 It\u2019s David De Gea. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The man gave EVERYTHING he had for us and was once the best goalkeeper in the world while wearing our shirt. Respect him.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Another claimed: “I will never hate on David De Gea, ever in my life.” Simultaneously, a third user posted: “He stuck by us through our worst days, and was genuinely OUT OF THIS WORLD\u2026”<\/p>\n
