David de Gea has offered a middle-fingered response to a cheeky social media post from Manchester United team-mate Juan Mata.
On Monday, following the Red Devils’ latest training session, Mata took the opportunity to poke fun at his Old Trafford colleague.
The Spain international jokingly suggested that his fellow countryman is rather fond of him, with admiring glances being shot in his direction.
Mata’s post soon went viral, with supporters around the world quick to hail the comedic qualities of the popular playmaker.
It took a while for De Gea to notice that he was the subject of social media banter, but his response was just as amusing when it arrived.
