Manchester United legend David de Gea showed his support for the club's women's team during their 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Women's Champions League on Tuesday night.
The Red Devils made their long-awaited debut in the competition after finishing second in last season's Women's Super League, securing qualification to the second round.
Marc Skinner's side were drawn against a strong PSG team but managed to earn a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Leigh Sports Village, with Melvine Malard cancelling out Tabitha Chawinga's opening goal.
Among the 4,827 in attendance was former men's goalkeeper De Gea, who left the club following the expiration of his contract at the end of June.
90min revealed shortly before then that United had walked back on their initial agreement with the Spaniard and offered him new terms at a lower rate, but he ultimately decided against extending his stay at Old Trafford.
De Gea remains without a club despite tentative interest in his services throughout the summer transfer window. Bayern Munich considered a move for him before they turned to Maccabi Tel Aviv goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, while Real Madrid also held talks about a contract but brought in Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea instead.
More recently, Cristiano Ronaldo has been trying to convince his former United teammate to join him at Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, but De Gea remains determined to continue his career in Europe at a Champions League club.
The Daily Mail recently reported that De Gea has been back in Manchester to sort out his house in the Hale suburbs having since permanently moved into a family home in Madrid.
De Gea's presence in the city had put United fans on alert given the poor start made by his successor, Andre Onana.
The Cameroonian has made a string of high-profile errors since his summer move from Inter, most recently failing to keep out Mathias Jensen's weak opener in Saturday's 2-1 win at home to Brentford.
