De Gea jokingly makes rude gesture at Aguero at Italian restaurant
DAVID DE GEA jokingly stuck his middle fingers up at Manchester City rival Sergio Aguero when he spotted him at an Italian restaurant.
The Manchester United goalkeeper, 29, taunted his former team-mate, 31, as he headed out for a bite to eat in Hale Village, Cheshire.
De Gea and Aguero will be up against each other when the two Manchester clubs collide in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
But the keeper proved there are no hard feelings ahead of kick-off when he bumped into his old Atletico Madrid pal in town.
The pair played alongside each other at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium from 2009 until 2011.
After an extremely brief catch-up with the Spanish shot-stopper, Aguero headed out of the door.
The Manchester City striker previously revealed that he has stayed in close contact with De Gea since they both switched to the Premier League in 2011.
He said: “I hang out a lot with David because we played together for Atletico Madrid.
“We have a good friendship from Atletico… but now he plays for United and I play for City.”
De Gea, who looked casual in a hooded top and hat, also bumped into team-mate Marcos Rojo and his wife in the village.
The 29-year-old enjoyed a well-deserved break after he was left out of the squad for Sunday’s clash against Tranmere in the FA Cup.
