Well I Nev-er
Gary Neville is not happy with the way Man Utd handed David De Gea's contract situation but agrees that he should've been let go.
Neville said: "Manchester United were insincere with De Gea and it's a bad end to what he did for the club, but they had to do it.
"Manchester United needed a change of goalkeeper. The FA Cup final was the straw that broke the camel's back."
De Gea made a costly mistake as Ilkay Gundogan netted twice with a winner that slipped through the Spaniard's grasp.

Looks fishy
As Man Utd launched their third kit for the new season, fans spotted a nod to a Roy Keane outburst.
Keane is seen in the clip staring over some prawn sandwiches

EXCLUSIVE: Injury stopping Henderson move
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson is yet to sign for Nottingham Forest due to an injury.
The 26-year-old tore his thigh in January – midway through his loan spell at the City Ground last season.
Forest want to sign him again but they have not yet been able to complete a deal due to the severity of his thigh issue.
Despite Henderson's steady progress in training, SunSport understands there remains a real threat that the strenuous medical required by Forest risks aggravating his injury and causing more damage.
Man Utd are reluctant to risk a further setback for the academy graduate, so they are not yet willing to sanction a move yet.
Both parties are now willing to wait until he has fully recovered.
Forest could snap up Henderson towards the end of the window.

'De Gea better than Onana'
Dwight Yorke thinks Andre Onana is worse than David De Gea and Man Utd will regret their decision.
He told OLGB: “In my opinion, Onana is not as good as De Gea and people need to watch him very carefully.
"I've seen Onana before, the Premier League is a different kettle of fish with how fast the game is and how often you are pressured. Onana tries to be an outfield player rather than a goalkeeper sometimes.
"I will be watching this guy very closely, and the people who have criticised De Gea and wanted him to leave will probably be the ones who will be calling him to come back."
