David de Gea has reignited the Manchester United and Manchester City rivalry with a cheeky post on social media after the latest developments surrounding City’s Premier League financial case. 😳🔥
The former United goalkeeper posted:
“So…… Let’s talk. How many Premier League titles have I won then? 🤔”
And the timing of the message is what makes it so spicy. 👀
De Gea spent 12 years at Manchester United after joining from Atlético Madrid in 2011. During his time at Old Trafford, he won the 2012/13 Premier League title, Sir Alex Ferguson’s final league championship as United manager. The Premier League confirms that this remains De Gea’s only Premier League winners’ medal. 🏆🔴
But De Gea’s post comes amid a major debate surrounding Manchester City and the consequences of the club’s financial-rule case. Reports that surfaced on September 25, 2026, have triggered discussion about potential repercussions, while the process and any sanctions remain subject to the relevant procedures and appeals.
That is where De Gea’s cryptic question comes in. 😭🔥
The Spaniard appears to be joking about whether changes to the historical record could affect the number of Premier League titles attached to his career.
For United supporters, the history is straightforward: De Gea was part of the 2012/13 side that secured United’s 20th English league championship and their 13th Premier League-era title.
And De Gea was far from an ordinary goalkeeper during his United career.
He made 545 appearances for the club, kept 190 clean sheets, won the Premier League Golden Glove twice and collected the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award four times.
Now playing for Fiorentina, De Gea has shown that even after leaving Old Trafford, he has clearly not forgotten the Manchester rivalry. 😂🔴
His post has already sent United fans into the comments, with supporters debating exactly what his question could mean if the ongoing situation ultimately changes the historical record.
One thing is certain:
David De Gea knows exactly how to get Manchester United fans talking. 👀🔥
🏆 Premier League title: 1
🔴 United years: 2011–2023
🧤 United appearances: 545
🧱 Clean sheets: 190
🥇 Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year awards: 4
And now De Gea has simply asked…
“How many Premier League titles have I won then?” 🤔😂🔴
