While Fellaini called it quits after getting the most out of his career, De Gea is still looking for a new club following his release from United last summer. However, it appears the 33-year-old is waiting for the right offer after rejecting an approach from Nottingham Forest last month.
WHAT NEXT?
The Spanish international, who spent 12 years at United and played more than 500 times for the Red Devils, is still on the hunt for a new team. The free agent has been linked with Saudi Pro League interest but that has yet to come to fruition.
