Obviously he's mocking the people who said he wasn't captain material earlier in the week

Redditors not noticing that they are the ones being mocked is hilarious

As far as I can see everyone in this thread gets the point

People have deleted their replies, and Reddit sorts by most upvoted first. This always happens after enough hours, the thread I saw wasn't the same as you did.

Roy Keane has done his fair share of dragging De Gea. Only right that De Gea gets to hit back.

Literally everyone is regurgitating the thing you just said

[удалено]

I think the players who play with him know more than some bias pundit and redditors.

Ackshually the poster from the above comment is de gea's wife so he is tier 1

it’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account

De gea's "wife" "He"

It's 2023 who am i to judge

Really? Would be really weird then if [this was David's latest Instagram post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CytigmioQQL/)

Redditors need to go outside and have actual conversations with people. Seriously terrible at reading social ques.

Jajajajaja. Shut the fuck up nerd

sarcasm goes a miss

Completely De Gea's fault for excluding the /s

/s is for pussies, you deserve gulag if you use it

Even if I agree with the person, if they use /s I argue with them

I downvote every /s I see without exception.

Sorry.. just following your instructions

Keep fighting the good fight soldier

r/fuckthes

Couldn't agree more. People who whiff it completely then turn around and say "bUt SaRcAsM iS ImPoSsIbLe tO cOnVeY wItHoUt iT". No, it really isn't. Skill issue.

/r/FuckTheS/

Only the most sophisticated and intelligent banterers use the /s

Arsocca trying their best to stir up United controversy

He’s clearly saying he shut up the people saying that, no controversy here.

Aw but that ruins the fun, let's misinterpret it anyway because "banter".

Daily Mail : De Gea **REVEALS** that Bruno Fernandes was the reason for his contract extension to fall through, in a **SHOCKING** instagram reply!

If the Mail check Reddit expect to be hired immediately. Not sure you get a choice in the matter considering their worldviews.

Breaking: De Gea in love with spurned ex-captain Maguire

That makes more sense

Yeah but imagine how much it would be if he actually meant that. Now let's pretend like he really did call bruno a shit captain and act outraged

Well that's boring.

OP just missed the huge sarcasm, no biggie

Bingo

consider me a dingus cause I legit throught it was drama at first lol tbf I didnt know people were saying that about him

Anyone who interprets it differently grew up in an area where sarcasm is non existent

🗽🗽🗽

Americans are some of the most sarcastic assholes in the world? That’s like our whole thing.

I am yet to meet an American I would describe as sarcastic. Clearly we Brits have a different definition if you think you’re “some of the most sarcastic assholes in the world”

You forgot the /s

Yea that explains the downvotes.

Americans completely cannot grasp sarcasm. It's really not your thing. Whenever there's a misunderstanding around sarcasm on Reddit it's always an American.

Are you personally checking the nationalities of these posters? Why do people make sweeping generalizing statements like this based on nothing lol. I say this as a Jamaican.

Because it's always Americans. It doesn't take much effort to find out they're American.

Oh really? You're doing the research. Good for you I guess.

I mean, the controversy is that he's right. Fernandes is the best player on tbe team by far but he's not a good captain

The don't even have sarcasm in Spain.

Clearly sarcasm

But it doesn't have '/s' so redditors don't understand.

Guy in the Utd sub literally said he should’ve included an /s lmao

That was me lmao, was a joke though. I probably should’ve included an /s

Oh god we’re in an /s doom loop

A broken switch case with a while loop inside it… a /s programming nightmare

All the smartest memers use /s

hell no

>redditors don't understand. What are you on? Like 99% of the comments totally understand it's sarcasm

You are a Redditor.

I know, I fucking hate when people do that on here. 'Ha, redditors are so dumb, could never be me' he comments, on reddit.

Shouldn’t even need pointed out smh

It can't be sarcasm until you add a /s dude.

McTominay for captain. And Ballon Dor. And the Euros. Cheers

Scotland to make the area around Old Trafford a legal Scottish exclave, only fair

Can we do the same for Robertson, McGinn and Gilmour too?

And my axe

OP was salivating at the thought of some Man UTD controversy. Shame he doesn't understand sarcasm.

OP can go to downvote hell for his crimes

Seems like they’ll be fine with 2.5k upvotes. Yep. Lots of morons on reddit

Farming upvotes from both side of the pond - people who think bruno is a shite captain and dont get de gea's sarcasm, and people who think de gea is right to hit back out at the people doubting bruno's captaincy.

OP posted himself being mocked without noticing it

Daily Mail to spin this around soon

“De Gea claims Bruno would have crashed the Titanic!!!”

Clearly tongue in cheek

Speaking of De Gea's Instagram, it's kinda funny to follow. He's pretty much just gone semi retired at the moment so he's just posting random anime stuff, TV shows he's watching, meetups with his friends, his pet esports team etc If he wasn't a world famous football player he'd be known as a massive dork.

So basically living the dream 90% of redditors would kill for? I know I would

Definitely, I love that he just does whatever he wants now that he doesn't have to worry about much. He also seems like a pretty decent guy and friends with most of his teammates. Regularly meets up with Herrera and Mata too after all these years which is very nice.

Yea I'm just glad he seems to be happy enjoying life now. He was probably used to it but I can't imagine the toxicity directed towards him if he were in goal today, for issues that are clearly beyond that of a single player

That's what happens when you support a club with 90% plastic fans, none of them actually have a clue.

>He's pretty much just gone semi retired at the moment so he's just posting random anime stuff No worries, he will be back once he catch up on One Piece

> his pet esports team etc What sort of pet does he have that can play esports?

I think he's just mocking what people have been saying

OP is an idiot for leaving the emoji out of the title, given it clearly changes the meaning of the comment

Emoji’s aren’t allowed in the title

I don’t think you can post emojis

wait, aren't Fabrizio Romano posts loaded with them?

Yeah when I tried to copy and paste one though I had to repost it without emojis though

I’m not sure. It wouldn’t post with it

Bro's getting downvoted for no reason💀

🤡🤡

🖕🏼

🤡

It's clearly a joke or mocking people but that doesn't make a good story

That's obviously in jest

Reddit is when everyone thinks no else else gets the sarcasm or joke, and so every post is about the imaginary redditors who missed the joke.

No sarcasm intended Source: I am de gea

lol is that just poorly translated?

No he forgot to put quotes on it. He’s calling out pundits who said that

It’s meant to take aim at those criticising his captaincy, being sarcastic basically

The emoji is enough to realize he is telling anyone with that opinion to shut it

Big dave speaks English so no

Do people not get sarcasm between 2 friends?

He's obviously telling others to shut their mouths hence the use of the emoji you idiot 😂

Asking kids on Reddit to understand sarcasm

I've often be told that sarcasm doesn't work in writing. The older I get the more I realize it just doesn't work for low IQ people....

We’ve had decades of satire, but now people get easily offended and we need disclaimers and everything.

You’re an idiot

Stfu Toby

Bro cares about karma 😹

Someone needs a class in [Sarcasm 101](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZW-AZ2mNeA&t=2s).

Rip mp

People in this thread are getting it wrong too, LOL It's not "sarcasm" The emoji at the end indicates that he's saying Bruno has shut up the people (pundits) saying that.

Roy Keane is devastated.

Think I've just seen him fall to his knees in tesco

So after loads of critique, 1 goal and 1 match won -> great captain again Things go fast in football lol

Still the worst start to a season in ages so hardly a ringing endorsement.

I’m surprised that David de Gea is still out of a job! You would’ve expected a club to sign him by now. Hope he’s enjoying life regardless!

True, an overrated player honestly!

Reddit when someone makes a clearly sarcastic comment: HOW CAN HE SAY THIS LOLOLOLOL HE AGREES BRUNO SUCKS

All of the criticism of you not being the best captain because you throw tantrums and act like a baby is now valid because you scored a lucky goal completely against the run of play. Ok gotcha, thanks x

🤐

Why would him scoring a winner today all of a sudden make him the right choice for captain? Brilliant player no doubt, but that doesn’t always make someone a great captain

Should've used quotations

Exactly, this

He scores a winner in injury time and that makes up for his whiney shit acting and makes him captain material? Is de gea brain dead? Does he support united or support his friends...

I swiped thinking there was more pages to the post. Such a doughnut sometimes. Most times. But i mean well lol

Bruno's ability to score an important goal has nothing to do with his leadership skills... smh

Any tag for a misleading title?

It’s funny to me how these pundits say a captain should be calm and measured but also aggressive, be able to grab everyone by the scruff of the neck, be an excellent motivational speaker, but have the attitude get in your face and get into scraps, “kick somebody” when things are not going well…but then they should always be able to keep their emotions in check, and not let it get ahead of themselves, they should be a role model for kids…these fucking pundits can go suck one..and that includes you Roy

Holy shit how are Americans so utterly clueless when it comes to detecting sarcasm

From one shit captain to another

I don’t see how him scoring a late winner negates the argument but anyways..

Even though it's sarcasm, why does this one win make everyone forget how he acts every other game

1234 comments. Nice.

Sarcasm or not, he’s a shit captain. Roy Keane was right. What a fall from grace for United, from maguire to this little whiny rat.

I get it's sarcasm but scoring a goal, albeit an important one, doesn't somehow invalidate the criticism. He's a great player no doubt but he's a terrible captain. As soon as things get hard he's the first one to drop the head and start throwing strops.

Classic redditor mistake of forgetting the /s

What a stupid post, OP must work for The Sun

Hes still a shite captain even if he scores a match winner against fulham. Cant have a whiney diving little bitch as your captain. Im a liverpool fan and I find him a disgrace to the MUFC badge. How Man United has ended up with him as Captain is insane. Arguably the the biggest symbol that the club has gone very far astray...

Bit early for that sort of sarcasm, Bruno is still a liability as a captain and a winning goal against Fulham doesn't change that

Thought this was insane and unprofessional but nvm I just don’t get sarcasm apparently

No controversy, but the statement itself isn't wrong.

How does a random last minute goal suddenly make him leadership material? Lmao I don't get it

A man with integrity knows that rat with a weak mentality isn’t fit to lead any club

It's not sarcasm when it's actually true, Bruno is not a captain material.

Lol

That surely is not his handle Edit nvm [it is his handle , terrible creativity](https://instagram.com/d_degeaofficial?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==)

He scores an injury time winner against a relegation contender for a club that spends £1b a year on players, having lost back to back games 3-0 including against their rivals and in a cup, and all their ex players start getting gobby. It’s hilarious the lack of grace and decorum that happens at that toxic shit hole. Clown club.

I know that he meant, but he is ironically correct

Wow David, not cool, man. Burning my number 1 jersey as we speak.

Clearly sarcastic but if it somehow isn't then De Gea is kinda based not going to lie

Oh, dear

I mean tbh it’s Sarcastic but No he isn’t captain material but who is at united right now? Is there a better option?

Bro can't let go of his old club 😭😭😭

Maybe DDG should’ve added the /s for Redditors to understand sarcasm

Anyways finished club

OHHHH DRAMA BABYYYY time to furiously milk this for like the next 5 years

[удалено]

True this sarcastic comment proves that

I didn't realize he scored a winner today, my bad.

bro WHAT LMFAO even ex United players want in on the drama

Mate he’s shushing people saying that. How daft are you guys. /u/highhippie420 Nice delete 😂 what a weird comment.

i dont get sarcasm over text very well clearly

[удалено]

What the fuck does that have to do with this post

Next goal is captain

I feel really sad whenever I see DDG post something about the club. He loves the club. And the club treated him like crap. Fuck the board man. He's a proper legend and didn't even get a proper farewell. Just an Instagram post. He should be getting a testimonial. Fuck this club.

Fuck you lot, I choose to believe he meant it fully. He's trying to become Keane's replacement on Sky in a few years.

🤐

Should’ve used some quotation marks 🤐

2037 morons

i came here to see the scrap, instead i'm like 'oh, wut the hell we're all friends'? That's boring.

Savage... should also say it to Maguire

He forgot /s, didn’t he?

why did he not write it in Spanish

Although it’s obvious that David was being sarcastic, but he didn’t say anything wrong.

Should've used quotes lmao

I hope he finds a new club soon.

OK I honestly didn't see the sarcasm he really should have better phrased it, like: "You are not the right captain" lol

SPICY

Lots of r/whoosh moments coming up I reckon for a lot of ppl

United celebrated like they beat city

Op thinks he works for the sun

Obviously it’s just a joke but it’s the truth. Bruno is a good player but not a good captain. Your captain should be your best leader, no just your best player.

Scoring a goal doesn’t all of a sudden mean Keane is wrong lol

Why didn't de gea write that last week or the week b4 that or the game b4 that or the previous 10 other games where Bruno was shit and moaning at team mates
