David de Gea takes aim at Manchester City over Premier League charges as former Man Utd star eyes extra titles

David de Gea has aimed a barbed comment at Manchester City following bombshell reports that an independent panel found the Etihad outfit guilty of 114 financial breaches. The former Manchester United goalkeeper responded on social media by cheekily questioning how many league crowns he now holds, referencing campaigns where his side finished runners-up.

English football has been rocked to its core after an independent commission found City guilty of 114 of the 115 financial charges brought against them between 2009 and 2018. The monumental verdict opens the door to unprecedented sanctions, ranging from relegation and heavy points deductions to hefty fines and the stripping of historic titles. The ruling immediately triggered widespread shockwaves among domestic rivals who were narrowly pipped to major silverware during that era.
