In a surprising development, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been sacked from his role.
The announcement sent shockwaves through the football community, with fans and former players reacting to the news.
Among those who responded were Jadon Sancho and David de Gea, both of whom had personal histories with Ten Hag and took to Instagram to share cryptic messages following his exit.
Jadon Sancho, who recently joined Chelsea on loan after a rocky relationship with Ten Hag, shared a telling Instagram story. He posted a black screen with a waving hand emoji and a blank-faced emoji, hinting at a possible farewell or sense of closure.
This subtle post quickly grabbed attention, with fans speculating it might symbolize relief or even a goodbye to lingering issues with the now-former United manager.
Sancho and Ten Hag’s relationship had been strained for months. The tension escalated earlier in the season when Ten Hag publicly questioned Sancho's work ethic and commitment, leading to the winger's exclusion from the squad.
The situation eventually resulted in Sancho being sent on loan to Chelsea, a move that underscored the breakdown between him and Ten Hag. Many fans interpreted his Instagram story as a nod to the end of a turbulent chapter.
David de Gea, who departed Manchester United after the club chose not to renew his contract, also posted a cryptic message. De Gea shared a black screen with a pinched-fingers emoji—a gesture often used to express irony or skepticism.
Since leaving United, De Gea joined Florentino on a free transfer, ending his long tenure with the club under circumstances that were heavily influenced by Ten Hag's decision to bring in a new style of goalkeeper.
