Watch: Old Trafford’s reaction to David De Gea’s return may give you goosebumps

Huge reception

Who says football fans are fickle?

Well, everyone, but Manchester United fans had more reasons to boo David De Gea than cheer for him today.

Of course, fans very rarely boo their own players, but, with the Spanish goalkeeper openly stating his desire to leave Old Trafford, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if De Gea received a tame ovation at least.

However, United fans gave the goalkeeper a resounding welcome when his name was read out.

What type of reception will De Gea receive when he returns with Real Madrid in a few years?
