David de Gea has met up with one of Manchester United's new signings amid speculation the shot stopper could return to Old Trafford.
De Gea ended a 12-year-spell at United this summer, leaving upon the expiry of his contract despite having claimed the Premier League Golden Glove award last season.
In his place, the Old Trafford club signed Andre Onana, who has endured a topsy-turvy first few months in England.
The Cameroon international was at fault for goals in United’s last two games, making errors in the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray and conceding a soft opener against Brentford on Saturday.
Speculation has since arisen among sections of the United fan-base that the club could look to sign De Gea on a free transfer, with the keeper still without a club.
Rumours circulated upon the Spaniard's return to the North West, reportedly to clear out his property in Hale, Cheshire.
De Gea was also spotted showing his support for United’s women’s team at the Leigh Sports Village.

United drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League qualifier, in their debut appearance in the competition.
The 32-year-old has now been pictured at a restaurant alongside United loanee and compatriot Sergio Reguilon.
De Gea posted a picture of the pair on his Instagram story, alongside the caption: "Good to see you amigo."
The former United goalkeeper is said to be based at his family home in Madrid since leaving England, alongside his wife Edurne Garcia and their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Yanay.
Various reports in the summer claimed De Gea rejected a move to Inter Milan while he was also linked with a transfer to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
It was also suggested last month the former Spain international was considering retirement, however the player is said to merely be considering his options.
