The 33-year-old has signed a one-year contract including the option of a further 12 months with Fiorentina later this afternoon.

De Gea is now also accepting a salary of only €38,000 a week.

De Gea had been unemployed since leaving United last summer after failing to agree a contract extension.

His last competitive appearance was over 400 days ago in the Red Devils’ defeat to Manchester City in the 2023 FA Cup final.

Last season Pietro Terracciano was Fiorentina’s first-choice goalkeeper after making 53 appearances in all competitions with 13 clean sheets.

The 34-year-old’s contract is set to run out in 2025.

De Gea joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and during this 12-year tenure at the club made 545 appearances.

During his time at the club, he broke Peter Schmeichal’s all-time United record for clean sheets and became the highest appearance-maker for a goalkeeper.

The Spaniard won five major trophies during his time in Manchester including the e Premier League title in 2013, the FA Cup in 2016 and the Europa League in 2017.

And the shot-stopper amassed several individual honours, including the Premier League Golden Glove in both the 2017-18 and 2022-23 seasons.

In addition, from 2013 to 2016, he was named Manchester United’s Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons.

He has 45 caps for Spain, and he last played in 2020.

Fiorentina made it to the Europa Conference League final for the second consecutive season and ended eighth in Serie A, but Olympiacos defeated them.

When they play Parma on August 17, the new campaign gets underway.
