Against Newcastle
David de Gea (31) made his 500th appearance for Manchester United in the 0-0 draw against Newcastle United. The Spaniard shared via his social channels that it had been “an incredible day” for him. “I want to experience many more special moments here, but now we are concentrating on the next game and getting the club where we want to be,” the statement said.
De Gea, whose contract ends in 2023, switched from Atlético Madrid to the “Red Devils” in 2011 for 25 million euros, making him the most expensive goalkeeper purchase in the club’s history. Well-known ex-professionals such as Ryan Giggs (949), Paul Scholes (714), Gary Neville (600), Wayne Rooney (559) and Denis Irwin (504) have also cracked the 500 game mark in the recent past (overview) . De Gea had even played with Giggs, Scholes and Rooney.
