David de Gea's cryptic emoji post on social media following Erik ten Hag's sacking at Manchester United has ignited controversy. While some fans celebrate De Gea's reaction, others criticize him for perceived disrespect towards Ten Hag.
David de Gea's recent social media activity has sparked a heated debate among fans following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager. The former United goalkeeper posted a cryptic emoji on his Instagram and X accounts, leading many to interpret it as a veiled comment on Ten Hag's sacking. The emoji received a mixed reception, with some fans expressing support for De Gea's apparent celebration, while others criticized him for being disrespectful towards his former manager.
Comments on social media revealed the divide among fans. One supporter remarked that De Gea had become a "bigger legend" in their eyes compared to Ten Hag, while another expressed concern for Ten Hag's family, stating, "Damn, he has a family man. Cmon." Conversely, some users accused De Gea of showing disrespect, labeling him a "disrespectful clown" for his perceived reaction.
De Gea's time at Manchester United came to an end in 2023 after the club opted for Andre Onana, indicating that the veteran goalkeeper did not align with Ten Hag's tactical vision. Following a year away from football, De Gea signed with Fiorentina in August 2024.
