The Spaniard is technically no longer a United player, although he still appears on the club's website. It would be a sad way for the 12-year servant to bow out at Old Trafford.
MEN Sport understands the Reds are on the lookout for a new first choice this summer and on Wednesday, De Gea added further speculation when he tweeted a yawning emoji.
