On Thursday afternoon, David de Gea shared a video of himself still looking good in his former Manchester United training gear.
The former Manchester United player was working on shot-stopping and reflexes drills with three teachers.
De Gea, 33, was fired by United in July and replaced by Andre Onana after 12 seasons as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
He has been a free agent all season, but has promised to return, tweeting from Altrincham’s training field, ‘I’ll be back.
In another video in which he practiced collecting, shot-stopping, and claiming crosses, De Gea wrote: ‘We remember. We reconstructed. We come back stronger.

According to Mail Sport, Newcastle were interested in him due to Nick Pope’s long-term injury, but he would have had to take a wage reduction.
His latest contract with United paid him £375,000 per week.
He kept 17 clean sheets in his final season, three more than his closest competitor, but there was no agreement on a contract disagreement.
The Spaniard won five major titles for United, including the Premier League in 2013, and was named club player of the year.
However, he was fired, and the club supposedly raised Marcus Rashford’s salary to De Gea’s level.
His successor, Onana, who signed from Inter Milan for £47 million, admitted that he questioned his decision to join.
‘It was quite hard,’ he told MUTV. ‘But this is the first time I’ve experienced such a situation.’
De Gea was United’s first choice goalkeeper for 12 years but left behind his £375,000-per-week contract in the summer.
