DAVID DE GEA may be a goalkeeper renowned for being stuck between the sticks, but away from the pitch he can go anyway he likes in style.

This is thanks to his fleet of stunning motors.

The Spaniard left Manchester United behind after appearing in 545 games.

During this time he won eight trophies with the Red Devils.

From a stunning British classic to a striking red sports car, De Gea boasts an impressive collection.

SunSport has taken a look at the various set of wheels the Spaniard owns.

BRITISH CLASSIC

After spending 12 years in England with Man Utd, it would make sense for De Gea to buy into some of Britain’s culture.

And that is exactly what petrol head De Gea did.

He took up the cream of the crop by getting himself an Aston Martin Vantage.

Back in 2019, De Gea brought himself the two-door sports car and was spotted in town with it alongside partner Edurne Gacria Almagro.

The sleek car can reach top speeds between 195mph to 200mph – not far off Aston Martin’s Formula One car.

The motor will set you back a cool £125,000.

Benz Your Ear

Standing at 6ft 4in, De Gea needs to ensure he has plenty of leg room in his cars.

This means he often takes an SUV on his outings.

His SUV of choice is the Mercedes GLE, which starts at around £76,000.

De Gea was spotted giving a lift to Juan Mata when the pair played at the club.

The Vito is able able to go from 0-60mph in just 6.6 seconds.

So you would have good money on him getting wherever he wants to on time.

American dream

When Manchester United were sponsored by American car manufacturer Chevrolet, United reportedly told their players to drive cars made by them to keep their shirt sponsor happy.

De Gea did not need a second invitation and jumped at the chance to add to his car collection.

He was soon seen driving around in two Chevrolet cars.

The first saw him add another SUV in the form of a Captiva, which can reach up to £24,000.

However, De Gea was not done there, and soon added a second Chevrolet sponsored ride.

The second time he opted for a Camaro, a two-door sports car which can fetch between £27,000 and £31,000 depending on whether it is a Coupe or Convertible variant.

Although with United’s sponsorship with Chevrolet long gone, it is likely that De Gea no longer owns these cars.

Red Devil

Throughout his Old Trafford career, De Gea was persistently linked with a transfer away from the club.

However, one dodgy fax machine completely changed this trajectory.

And his Real Madrid transfer links came with a spice of irony when he was seen leaving Hale village’s La Vina Spanish Restaurant with a Ausi RS5 in 2015.

De Gea went for a bright red with the car to spruce up his options, matching the colours of Man Utd.

The car can fetch a cool £73,000 on the market.

But when the car – said to be a favourite of Real Madrid and Barcelona stars – is capable of reaching a top speed of 155.3mph, you would be expected to pay a pretty penny.

De Gea did not round of his car collection with just one piece of Mercedes engineering prowess.

Instead, the shot-stopper added a Mercedes-Benz Vito to his garage.

In 2018 he was seen in the passenger seat of the SUV as missus Edurne drove around.

The minivan has been owned by a number of footballers, including Raheem Sterling, Alvaro Morata and Jake Livermore.
