On Sunday, David De Gea stole the show as Fiorentina defeated AC Milan in Serie A.
Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, sent David de Gea the ideal message on Sunday during Fiorentina’s 2-1 victory over AC Milan.
Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham both had two penalties that the former United goalkeeper saved, but he still played a vital role for his club. After thereafter, De Gea produced a number of crucial stops to maintain Fiorentina’s position in the match.
After the match, the former Old Trafford shot stopper dismissed his bravery in an interview with reporters. He stated, as quoted by Tribal Football: “This is one amazing night. For the past few months, we have been putting in a lot of work.
After the match, the former Old Trafford shot stopper dismissed his bravery in an interview with reporters. He stated, as quoted by Tribal Football: “This is one amazing night. For the past few months, we have been putting in a lot of work.
We wanted to please the fans, so I’d rather talk about that than the penalty saves. The victory this evening against a major team like Milan is crucial. Finally, after much effort, our efforts are beginning to pay off.
However, Milan manager Paulo Fonseca claimed that there was mixed feelings following. “Our designated penalty taker is [Christian] Pulisic,” he said. “I have no idea why the players decided to change their minds. I’ve assured them that this will not occur again in our conversation. Even if we are creating a lot of chances, it gets harder to win when we miss two penalties and give up a goal like the last one.”
“Started in Spain, made in Manchester, loving it in Italy,” De Gea said on Instagram alongside several photos from the evening, accompanied by a purple heart emoji.
Since his departure from Old Trafford in the summer of 2023, Fernandes has closely followed the progress of his former United teammate. In the comments section, the Portuguese wrote “Legend” and then a heart of love.
Among the others seen in the comments area were Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Alejandro Garnacho, and Scott McTominay, a former United player. After a year without a club, De Gea completed his time as a free agent in the summer and signed a one-year contract to join Fiorentina.
