There was one other particular second for the Spaniard late within the contest, when he was changed by Tomasso Martinelli three minutes from full-time, and given a standing ovation by supporters in all corners of the stadium.
“A magical second for me and my household to return again to Previous Trafford – my residence,” De Gea wrote on X, on Saturday afternoon.
“From the underside of my coronary heart – I need to say thanks for the reception – for all of the love you proven me right this moment.”
