Surprisingly, Manchester United’s Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea will miss the World Cup 2022. In fact, he was not included in the 55-man squad of the Spanish national team.

According to Goal, the head coach of “Furia Roja,” Luis Enrique, selected 5 players for each position, but no place for De Gea was found in the extended lineup.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper of United is not bothered by an injury indeed. Furthermore, he participated in all matches of the current Premier League season and kept a clean sheet in 5 matches.

Surprisingly, Brentford goalkeeper David Raya will replace De Gea in the Spanish national team. Getafe goalkeeper David Soria will also be at Luis Enrique’s disposal, and Kepa Arrizabalaga will be considered a backup option.

To conclude, 31-year-old De Gea’s contract with Manchester United expires next summer. Even though Eric Ten Haag has a good relationship with the Spaniard, the team is looking for his replacement, and the Georgian goalkeeper of Valencia, Giorgi Mamardashvili, was also named among the possible options.
