Watch: ‘Who?’ – David de Gea’s brilliant reaction to Ronaldo’s Man Utd return
David de Gea joked about the imminent return of Cristiano Ronaldo after helping Manchester United beat Wolves 1-0 at Molineux.
De Gea was back to his best against Wolves, producing a brilliant double save before Mason Greenwood netted a late winner for the away side.
While United players had to focus on the game, everybody else has been talking about Ronaldo’s upcoming return to Old Trafford after 12 years away.
The Portugal international is widely regarded as one of the best players of all time, having won seven league titles and five Champions Leagues.
De Gea was asked about Ronaldo after the Wolves game and jokingly pretended that he didn’t know who the 36-year-old was.
“It’s like a dream for all the Manchester United fans, for us,” De Gea then added. “To have him back is going to be great, you can feel in the atmosphere. Hopefully, he can bring something special as well to make the team even better. It’s great to have him.”
