Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has once again stirred the pot on social media, posting a cryptic message following his old side’s disappointing 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.
De Gea, who was controversially ousted by manager Erik ten Hag in July, seems to have added fuel to the fire with a simple yet chilling emoji.
The 33-year-old shot-stopper’s reaction on social media comes amid ongoing scrutiny of United’s performances and their manager’s decisions.
De Gea’s departure from Old Trafford in the summer raised eyebrows, as the experienced goalkeeper failed to agree on new contract terms with the club.
Manager Erik ten Hag opted for a change, bringing in Andre Onana from Inter Milan for a hefty £47 million.
However, Onana hasn’t been immune to criticism, and United’s recent struggles have only intensified the spotlight on the decision to part ways with De Gea.
The Cold Emoji
In the aftermath of United’s lackluster performance against Newcastle, De Gea took to social media with a simple yet impactful cold face emoji.
The post quickly garnered attention, accumulating over 87,000 likes within nine hours.
The cryptic nature of the emoji suggests a degree of detachment or indifference, leaving fans and pundits to interpret the message amid the ongoing struggles at Old Trafford.
