Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea sent a cryptic ‘yawning’ tweet as he prepares to leave the club after Erik ten Hag’s doubts about him prompted a U-turn on his new deal.
Since joining the Red Devils for about £19 million in the summer of 2011, the Spaniard, 32, has made 545 appearances in all competitions.
Given his inconsistency and hefty £350,000-a-week salary, the Red Devils have been debating whether to offer him a new contract.
Manager Erik ten Hag’s uncertainty over keeping him as No 1 sparked the club’s U-turn on his new contract, which expires in just 56 hours at the time of writing – leading to De Gea’s apparent outburst at the situation.
In what seems like a reference to the long-running contract saga, De Gea simply posted a yawning emoji on his Twitter page, suggesting that he is tired of the situation.
A new contract aimed at decreasing De Gea’s £375,000-a-week wage had been agreed between the player and the club earlier this month, but Ten Hag’s hesitation about keeping his No. 1 had placed the arrangement in peril.
According to reports on Tuesday, De Gea had signed the new contract before United backed out and then tabled an even lesser offer.
