Stat of the Day re David De Gea

When we kick off the new season, it will be the first time in 88 years that we have no players who have played for either Sir Matt Busby or Sir Alex Ferguson.

First time since 1934-35 season.

Tom Heaton did.

Never played in the team for Ferguson.

So who bridged the gap between Busby leaving and Fergie joining?

Who played for United in 86 who also played for us in 74?

Didn't think it was true when I read it to be honest. Independent claiming it...

So what you meant was made a first team appearance under either manager.

Because he definitely played for Alex Ferguson.

No he didn't.

He made his debut in 2021.

I’m genuinely interested. Busby left in 1969 (?), so someone must have been there and then still there 17 years later!? ….

dozen years since he was signed, David de Gea’s departure removes the last survivor of the Ferguson era: for the first time since the relegation season of 1973-74, United in 2023-24 will not feature anyone who has made or will make an appearance for the great Scot. For the first time since 1934-35, there will be none who have played or will play for Ferguson or Sir Matt Busby.

Is the claim by the Indy.
