David de Gea sent message as two former Manchester United teammates attend wedding

Here are your Monday morning Manchester United headlines.

De Gea message

Manchester United have congratulated David De Gea and his new wife Edurne after the pair were married on Saturday.

De Gea became a free agent the night before his wedding after his contract with United expired. The 32-year-old had been in contract talks for some time, with the club wanting to reduce his £375,000-per-week wages, but little progress increased the likelihood of his exit.

Figures at the club are wanting to 'move on' from De Gea after 12 years at Old Trafford, but concerns regarding Financial Fair Play mean talks will resume over a new deal once the Spaniard returns to England.

He and long-time partner Edurne tied the knot in Menorca on Saturday evening, with the new wife posting a picture of the pair on Instagram. United's official account commented on the post, saying 'Felicidades, David' which means 'Congratulations David'.

Two former United players attend De Gea's wedding

Former Manchester United duo Ander Herrera and Juan Mata were both in Menorca over the weekend to celebrate David De Gea's wedding.

The 32-year-old wedded long-term partner Edurne on Saturday, less than 24 hours after his United contract expired and he became a free agent. Talks had been ongoing for several weeks but a failure to reach an agreement led to his release on Friday.

After featuring in United's final game of the season, an FA Cup final defeat against Manchester City, De Gea continued negotiations before leaving for his wedding.

Contract talks were put on the back burner as the goalkeeper celebrated his wedding, with two former Reds and fellow Spanish internationals Herrera and Mata also present. The former posted a picture on his Instagram on Sunday evening, joined by his two ex-teammates alongside the caption: "Reunited".

A number of United fans were in the comments, sharing their love for the former Reds trio.
