Edurne Garcia Almagro’s husband David de Gea
Edurne is married to Spanish hotshot David de Gea. He has been Manchester United’s first-choice goalkeeper since joining the club in 2011.
One of the best shot-stoppers in the Premier League era, de Gea was, at a point in time, the most capable goalkeeper on the planet. While his stock has fallen since then, he remains a potent player capable of saving a game all by himself.
De Gea has so far made over 440 appearances for the Red Devils during his time at the club. One of the last few players left from the Sir Alex Ferguson era, he is a five-time PFA Team of the Year nominee.
He also won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award four times between 2013 to 2018. The 2017-18 Premier League Golden Glove winner is now in the latter years of his career and is at a crossroads for both club and country.
De Gea was on the bench at the 2020 Euros and may end up being displaced as Man United’s number 1 goalkeeper as well. Either way, he will go down as one of the best keepers at the club.
