David de Gea's Reaction to Man City Charges: A Question About His Own Titles

September 28, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

Fiorentina's David de Gea, formerly Manchester United's goalkeeper, has responded to Manchester City's guilty verdict. He posted on X, asking, "How many Premier League titles have I won then?"

This remark comes after City reportedly admitted to 114 of the 115 charges regarding Premier League financial regulations. Sanctions could include fines, points deductions, or even expulsion. Crucially, points deductions can be applied retrospectively, potentially affecting past titles.

The charges cover the period from 2009-10 to 2017-18, during which City secured three Premier League titles. Manchester United finished as runners-up twice in that timeframe, and once behind Liverpool. De Gea was United's goalkeeper throughout these seasons and possesses one Premier League winner's medal from the 2012-13 season. If City were to lose titles from that era, which could then be reallocated, his personal title count would increase to three.

Manchester City is expected to appeal the decision, and no specific sanctions have been determined yet.
