Bruno Fernandes has heaped praise on departing Manchester United team-mate David De Gea, claiming that the goalkeeper deserved a different goodbye.
De Gea revealed on Saturday that he would be leaving the club after his contract finished at the end of June.
And Fernandes claims that a farewell in front of supporters at Old Trafford would have been more appropriate for the club's third-highest Premier League appearance-maker.
The Portuguese international posted on Instagram: "You know what I think about you and how much I will miss you bro.
"You deserved to say goodbye at the stadium with all the fans cheering you for all the beautiful memories.
"You made history at the club and your name will never be forgotten. All the best for what's coming for you and your family."
De Gea leaves the club on a high, having won the Premier League Golden Glove last season.
United are reportedly keen to replace him with Inter Milan stopper Andre Onana.
