David de Gea has once again shared a cryptic message following Manchester United's defeat to Newcastle on Saturday.
The Red Devils' poor season continued as they suffered their sixth defeat of the season in the Premier League, a performance that was widely criticized by pundits.
TNT Sports' Jermaine Jenas said the body language of some players suggested they were 'either not happy with the tactics presented to them or not happy with their position on the pitch', while manager Erik ten Hag became visibly frustrated on the field. side lines.
United remain seventh in the table but could be overtaken by Brighton and drop to seventh when the Seagulls take on Chelsea on Sunday.
Following the loss, former United goalkeeper De Gea shared an 'icy' emoji on his X account, with fans speculating that the post was linked to yet another poor performance from United since his departure.

De Gea left the club at the end of last season after failing to agree a new contract after almost 12 years and 550 appearances for the club.
He has since been a free agent and there have even been suggestions he could rejoin as questions remain over Andre Onana in goal.
The 33-year-old has a history of sharing cryptic messages, often with his future unclear last year despite remaining a United player.
When he was first linked with a return to Old Trafford in October, the Spaniard shared a thinking emoji on his X account in what was a remarkable pattern.
In June, he shared a yawning emoji as it became clearer that he was heading for the club's exit, and in July, he featured a juggler in another installment of his series of single-emoji posts on X.
There were several question marks surrounding De Gea's replacement, Andre Onana (pictured) this season.
Onana joined United for £47.2 million because of his skills with his feet, but often found his shot-stopping skills lacking
United have struggled considerably since De Gea's departure and appear to have gone downhill both on and off the pitch in recent months.
In goal, Onana came on for £47.2 million to replace De Gea due to his strong ability with the ball at his feet, which we have seen in games, but his mistakes leading to goals were notable.
Most recently, he conceded two sloppy goals against Galatasaray in the Champions League as United's hopes of reaching the knockout stages almost ended after a 3-3 draw in Turkey.
While it seems unlikely, it is not impossible that De Gea could return to United as they look for cover with the African Cup of Nations approaching, in which Onana will play for Cameroon.
