Manchester United ace, Marcus Rashford, has dropped a seeming social media clanger while sending David de Gea his farewell message.

De Gea confirmed on Saturday he would be leaving United this summer after 12 years with the Red Devils.

"I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club," his statement said in part.

As a result, his teammates at Old Trafford were quick to take to social media to send him a farewell message, with others reminiscing the fond memories they shared.

However, The Mirror reports that Rashford ended up committing a blunder in his Instagram post, with the forward's message suggesting it was picked from the draft ideas.

"Caption ideas: You were here from my breakthrough, good luck with your next step, brother," Rashford's initial post said.

The England international has since edited out the words 'caption ideas' but kept the rest of the message.

Meanwhile, Man United have since embarked on finding a replacement for De Gea, with Inter Milan keeper, Andre Onana, believed to be a top priority.
