De Gea set for return

The goalkeeper left the club in 2023 after 12 years at the club and is now at Fiorentina.
He will likely be in goal for the Italian side for the pre-season friendly match in Manchester on Saturday.
Rube Awakening
Ruben Amorim will use state-of-the-art technology to find out who isn’t pulling their weight at Manchester United.
Amorim has already banished Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.
And he could be set to add a few more names to his “bomb squad” thanks to the implementation of the most elite fitness apparatus.
Amorim’s troops will this season wear STATSports’ Apex 2.0 GPS performance tracker vests during training and in matches to keep tabs on their respective outputs.
The trackers will provide “real-time kinematics” to the former Sporting Lisbon boss and his staff with a whopping FIVE MILLION data points over a 90-minute period.
The tracker is said to be 100 PER CENT accurate, meaning anyone deemed to be not pulling their weight will have no leg to stand on.
Jackson could leave
Chelsea star and Manchester United target Nicolas Jackson could be on his way out of West London, according to reports.
The Athletic have claimed that the striker is “increasingly likely” to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
He has seen his competition at the Blues grow with the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
He has been linked with mulitple clubs including Man United, Newcastle and West Ham.
