    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.

    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.

    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.

    Inside Harry Kane’s British car collection, from £212,000 Continental GT Supersports to £99,000 Land Rover

    HARRY KANE left these shores last month to try to plunder some trophies in Germany.But the England captain remains as proud to be British as ever.

    Kane, 30, left boyhood club Tottenham with one year remaining on his contract, feeling the need for a new challenge abroad.
    In his car collection, however, he’ll be bringing a bit of Blighty to Munich – even if he won’t be allowed to drive all of them to training.
    Bayern have had a lucrative sponsorship deal with German manufacturer Audi dating back to 2002.
    Players and staff even receive a plush Audi model of their choice upon joining.
    READ MORE IN SPORT
    Kane plumped for a practical £58k black Q8 e-tron upon joining from Spurs last month.
    He will be expected to drive it to training at Sabener Strasse and matches at Allianz Arena.
    Failure to do so could land him in hot water – just ask Kingsley Coman.
    The French winger got himself in trouble back in 2020 for driving his £174k McLaren into training – and wasn’t even allowed into the complex, instead having to park on the street.

    He was then reportedly slapped with a hefty £43,500 fine for his misstep.
    Other car brands within the Volkwagon group are deemed acceptable, however, so Kane would be okay in a Bentley, Bugatti or Porsche.
    On why he chose the e-tron, he explained: “I decided on a family car. Now that I have four children, I just need the space.”
    He quickly took one of his own motors out for a whirl after arriving in Germany, adding: “I’ve already tried, but of course not with the new car.”
    TREATING HIMSELF
    Kane does own a Bentley, which he will be allowed to whizz into training in, should he wish.
    He bought a Continental GT Supersports back in 2020, and was amazed to see that then-team-mate Dele Alli had just bought the same model.
    The striker said of the £212k motor at the time: “I’ve just bought a Bentley Supersports.
    “I thought I’d treat myself to a sports car. I was looking at most of them really, but because I play golf I wanted something with a bit of room, nothing too low, something a bit different.
    “They are only making 710 of them. I’ve gone for white with black wheels. It’s a beautiful, beautiful car. It’s my first real sports car.”
    He also admitted that if he’s feeling frivolous after a big triumph, he may even dabble with something even fancier in future.
    Kane added: “Down the line, maybe if I win a few trophies, I can treat myself to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.”
    BEST OF BRITISH
    As Three Lions skipper, few things make Kane prouder than being British.
    And in the spirit of this, he owns a £99k Land Rover and £35k Jaguar F-Pace.
    He beamed: “Just to be associated with that British stamp is something that I’m proud of.”
    “I pretty much love that Jag. It’s not too big, not too small, it fits our little daughter and the dogs.
    “It’s a family car with a sporty edge. It’s not like you’re embarrassed to drive it as a dad. You’re happy to drive it. It looks nice and it’s not too expensive. It’s been great for me so far.”
    He went on to continue: “After a game or training, you just want to get in a nice car and chill.
    “I had a Range Rover Sport before that. Loved that. I just wanted the bigger version.”
    COMPANY CARS
    While Kane went for the comfort of the £58k Audi Q8 e-tron upon joining Bayern, many of his new team-mates opted for something more expensive.
    Twelve stars selected the £120k Audi RS e-tron GT, including the likes of Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Joshua Kimmich.
    Leon Goretzka also went for the £120k model, but opted for a silky purple rather than black.
    On getting the hang of driving in Germany, Kane joked: “‘I’ll slowly get used to the fact that the steering wheel is on the other side.
    “So far I haven’t had a crash, that’s a positive thing.”

    SON STILL SHINES
    Kane wasn’t the only Spurs player last season with a stunning car collection.
    His old pal and Ange Postecoglou’s new skipper Son Heung-min also has an enviable fleet.
    The South Korean superstar owns an ultra-rare Ferrari LaFerrari worth an eye-watering £1,150,000 – with only 499 of them having been made.
    While he also has an Audi R8 Coupe, Maserati Levante, Range Rover and Bentley Continental.
    Son, 31, drove an Audi R8 during his Bundesliga days – and would have looked right at home at Sabener Strasse doing so.
    While he was gifted Maserati’s first ever SUV, worth £60,000.
    Korea’s official Maserati importer wrote in a statement that their new car: “Might be the most matching vehicle to Son, who can play with delicacy and unstoppable power.”
    As has become customary for Prem footballers, Son also has a £31k Range Rover that he has been seen cruising into Spurs training in.

    And like his former striker partner and pal Kane, Son also has a £160k Bentley Continental GT in his collection.

    And when it comes to his motors, he still loves them fast and incredibly expensive.
    Zlatan boasts an amazing car collection that’ll be the envy of all dressing rooms around Europe.
    From an impressive fleet of Ferraris, including the recent £1.7million Daytona SP3 he added to his garage to an astonishing £650,000 Porsche – the centre forward is a true petrol head.
    But, he remained true to his roots when he became an ambassador for car makers Volvo, even driving their modest £40,000 XC40 to training at a former club.

    The new addition
    This week, Zlatan really treated himself.
    For his 40th birthday, he bought himself a £400,000 Ferrari Sf90 Stradale.
    He shared an image of his new addition on Instagram, captioning the snap: “Happy Birthday to Zlatan”.
    It’s Ferrari’s first foray into electric cars and can reach a top speed up to 211 mph.
    But, he wasn’t totally convinced by it. Instead, he traded it for a Daytona SP3 with a price tag of £1.7million.
    The mid-engine V12 sportscar can hit 62mph in a staggering 2.86 seconds.
    Reports claim there is only 599 models of the car in the world.

    In 2019, for his 38th, he bought a rare Ferrari Monza SP2 for a staggering £1.4million.
    He is only one of 499 people in the world that own the supercar.

    However, standing at 6ft 5in Zlatan needs a car that offers him plenty of leg room.
    That’s why, when it comes to training, he prefers an SUV.
    At AC Milan, the centre forward has been spied arriving to training in a £160,000 Lamborghini Urus.
    The Urus is a favourite of footballers at the moment, including former Man Utd star Cristiano Ronaldo who was once seen driving to Carrington in one.

    Statement red
    Only 400 Ferrari Enzo cars exist in the world, and Zlatan has one of them.
    Seen as a collector’s item, it’s a motor that can be sold for over a million pounds at auction.
    It was developed in 2002 using Formula One technology, including a a carbon-fibre body and F1-style automated-shift manual transmission.
    Although, we’ve rarely seen Zlatan driving it.
    Zlatan is one of 400 lucky owners who have a rare Ferrari Enzo worth around £1m
    Spider Man
    Between 2005-2009, the Ferrari F430 Spider was a footballers’ favourite.
    Chelsea legend John Terry, who himself is a Ferrari obsessive, was seen driving one around the streets of Surrey.
    When it was released, it carried a price tag of around £120,000.
    Nicknamed their ‘Baby Enzo’, it can hit 0-62 mph in four seconds.

    Zlatan loves anything limited edition.
    Which is why he bought a £700,000 Porsche Spyder in and around 2014.
    Only 918 models were made of the supercar, which sold out completely in 2015.
    It was only the second plug-in hybrid car Porsche ever produced.

    ANOTHER ITALIAN MASTERPIECE
    Italian gentleman’s car makers Maserati are renowned for their luxury vehicles.
    So, it goes without saying, Zlatan used his extensive time playing in Italy to research enough about the stylish car manufacturers.
    In about 2011, he bought a GranTurismo MC Stradale worth around £92,000.
    Under the hood, it boasts a 450 hp V8 engine and has a top speed of 187 mph.

    But that was not before he became the club’s all-time leading scorer with 260 goals, as well as a five-time Premier League winner.
    His glittering career allowed him to accrue a huge wealth and reported £65million fortune.
    And since he has retired, the Argentinian has invested in eSports team KRU, become an ambassador for betting company Stake, and become a founder of healthy energy drink Go Mate.
    That hasn’t stopped him from enjoying his impressive car collection.

    From owning James Bond’s Range Rover to a Lamborghini Aventador costing £361,000 he never drove, that only collected cobwebs, here’s his amazing fleet of motors.
    Lumma CLR SV Range Rover, £150,000
    If Sergio had any aspirations of becoming the next James Bond, he’s certainly auditioned in the right car.
    The Lumma CLR SV Range Rover was seen in 007 movie Spectre, cutting through the snow during one particular action scene.
    It didn’t quite get the fanfare of Bond’s Aston Martin, but it’s still nifty all the same.

    Aguero was spotted driving it to the ground before a cup game against Burnley.
    However, City fans might not be happy with his choice of colour for the Range Rover’s leather seats… yes, it’s red.
    Lamborghini Aventador, £361,000
    In 2014, Aguero splashed the cash on a stunning Lamborghini.
    His first port of call was celebrity car customiser Yianni Charalambous, who wrapped it in a stunning satin black wrap, and gave him custom wheels with orange calipers and orange interior.
    The Aventador is Aguero’s fastest car – and can reach a top speed of 218mph.
    Despite the large sum spent, the former frontman complained he never drove it.
     “I don’t know why the f*** I bought a Lamborghini,” he told Argentine told TV show Santo Sabado in 2021.
    “It must have done about 1,200km (745 miles) in six years – I’ve barely used it.

    “I’ve been thinking for two years about what the f*** I bought that car for.
    “Now the only thing it does is get cold from the rain; it has cobwebs and everything.”
    He put it up for sale in 2021 on AutoTrader.
    Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, £250,000
    On a trip to Los Angeles in 2018, Aguero hired this stunning Ferrari to cruise along Sunset Boulevard in.
    He was so taken by it,
     he immediately got himself a gorgeous black £250k GTC4 Lusso.
    Capable of hitting 60mph in 3.4 seconds, it’s fast and incredibly powerful.
    The GTC4 Lusso runs off a 6.3-litre V12 engine, and has 681 bhp.
    And with a top speed of 208mph, it’s certainly no slouch either.

    Nissan GT-R, £91,000
    As a former ambassador for Nissan, Aguero also added their brilliant GT-R to his car collection in 2017.
    And right before a Manchester derby the same year, he stood aside the brilliantly custom wrapped supercar as he launched his Puma evoSPEED SL-S football boot that he had custom-made for that game.
    Again, the motor was customised by Yianni Charalambous.
    The GT-R was wrapped in sky blue, had a black stripe through it – and looked like a cross between the Argentina, Man City shirts, and his boots.
    “We’ve replicated every detail of the evoSPEED Derby Fever boot design in the wrap,” Yianni said at the time.
    As part of his ambassador role, Aguero had his own Nissan GT-R
    “He’s a real petrol head and having already customised two cars for him, I hope the only three-points he gets are on the pitch and not the M62!”
    A gift for the kit man
    Upon leaving the Etihad, kindhearted Aguero held a raffle – with the lucky winner receiving his £40,000 Range Rover Evoque.
    Kit man Ally Marland won it, and was spotted giving the striker a huge hug as he said his goodbyes to club staff.
    But Ally and his wife already had cars, so they did the next best thing.

    They put the car, with just 10,500 miles on the clock, on auction site eBay and gave a percentage of the cash to charity.
    It was a fitting end to City’s greatest ever goalscorer’s incredible career.
