Manchester United hasn’t been a Premier League title contender for the past several years, but the team’s goalie David De Gea believes this will change next season.
After a poor start of the season, Man Utd bounced back in the second part of 2019/20 and find themselves in a position to claim a UEFA Champions League spot for the next season. According to De Gea, the team now looks to carry over this momentum into 2020/21 and finally challenge the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.
“We are Manchester but it’s been too long without competing for important things and I think from now on, starting next season, we have to compete for those big titles,” De Gea told reporters in a recent interview with DAZN Espana.
De Gea is one of the rare players on Man Utd’s current roster that knows how it feels to lift the Premier League trophy. He arrived at the club in 2011 and was part of the title-winning squad in 2012/13.
“I know what it is like to win a Premier League with this club. I know what it means to win something big,” he added. “I want people to know again what this club is, and I want to help with that. And I hope I can stay many years here.”
Since 2013, Man Utd won League Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League. However, De Gea obviously doesn’t think these are important competitions and has his eyes on Premier League and Champions League.
