Summary
Listen to our latest UTD Podcast with the club’s much-loved no.1, David De Gea, who reflects on his playing career so far and our future under the management of Erik ten Hag.

De Gea also discusses his ongoing support for United Women and goalkeeper Mary Earps, as well as his off-field interests, including his family, heavy metal music and the Rebels Gaming eSports team that he recently formed.

| 0:32.3 | Mann, Helen Evans. Hi. How are you, Sam? Very good. Amazing. How are you? |
| 0:35.6 | All the better for seeing Helen, yes. Absolutely. Nice. Yeah, all good. I'm going to come |
| 0:41.2 | straight in with where we're currently sat, we're in the VIP room, Carrington. I know we've |
