Pre-season Finale and De Gea’s Farewell…
Manchester United wraps up its summer antics with a friendly match against Fiorentina this Saturday, ending a pre-season tour where they faced only Premier League rivals. It all began with a spirited 0-0 tango with Leeds United in Stockholm. Then, like football’s answer to a rock band, they jetted off to the USA, settling scores with West Ham United and Bournemouth and scoring another entertaining draw with Everton. Now, poised like a cat ready to pounce, they face Fiorentina, just before unleashing themselves on Arsenal in the Premier League back home.
Saturday isn’t just any game; it’s a chance for fans to say ‘Adios!’ to past hero David de Gea, who hasn’t graced Old Trafford since leaving under mysterious, espionage-like clouds two years ago! The mighty glovesman’s farewell includes a special ceremony to honor his seventh-place rank in the club’s hall of fame appearances. And almost as if the stadium’s being visited by mythical creatures, expect to see former Premier League stars Edin Dzeko and Moise Kean playing for Fiorentina, who now aim to dazzle and confuse hapless defenders everywhere!
