Man Utd star Marcus Rashford makes David De Gea gaffe in goodbye message

Marcus Rashford suffered an embarrassing social media gaffe in his farewell message to Manchester United team-mate David de Gea . On Saturday, the 32-year-old goalkeeper confirmed his United departure, sparking a flurry of tributes from members of Erik ten Hag’s squad. De Gea has left Old Trafford as a free agent after negotiations over a new contract broke down in the latter stages of last season. The Spaniard is widely considered a United legend after spending 12 years as the club’s No 1, gaining respect from fans and colleagues alike. After taking to social media to confirm his exit, he received several heartfelt messages from fellow United stars. But Rashford’s didn’t go according to plan… The 25-year-old forward – or his social media team – accidentally included the heading for what looked to be a drafted list of farewell messages to De Gea. It sparked suggestions that his goodbye may have been half-hearted as he enjoys a summer break with team-mate Tyrell Malacia and friends in Los Angeles.

He spent over seven years with De Gea in the senior set-up after debuting in February 2016, winning four major trophies together. And unlike the veteran stopper, Rashford is expected to extend his United contract before its 2024 expiry. He was a crucial figure in Ten Hag’s maiden season at Old Trafford, netting 30 goals in all competitions, a career-record return. David de Gea has left Man Utd after 12 years. (Image: Getty)
