"How Many Premier League Titles Have I Won Then?" - Ex-Manchester United Star David De Gea Reacts After Manchester City's Reported Guilty Verdict
David de Gea questioned the reported verdict after Manchester City were said to be guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League charges.
On Friday, reports emerged that Manchester City was found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules on all but one of 115 charges, though the Club maintains its innocence and no official punishment has been announced.
Abu Dhabi-backed City has strenuously denied the allegations, with Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak stating, "Our confidence and intent in proving the Club's innocence is just as strong as when this began."
Lifelong Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher expressed shock, saying, "A little surprised when I heard it on the radio," while former chairman David Bernstein warned a lengthy appeal would be a "disaster" for English football.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged caution, saying, "People shouldn't jump to those kind of conclusions," while Bernstein cautioned that any guilty penalty must be "drastic" rather than financial alone.
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand posted about adding medals to his cabinet, while goalkeeper David de Gea questioned his own title count, fueling debate over whether past Premier League standings could be affected.
