The Spanish player left Manchester United in the summer after the club opted not to renew his contract and is currently without a team.
His successor, Andre Onana, has had a difficult start at Old Trafford, making several costly errors and facing significant criticism from the fans.
During their 2-1 victory against Brentford on Saturday, Onana made another mistake that nearly led to a goal, unable to deflect a relatively weak shot in the first half.
De Gea chose to share a photo on Instagram showing him playing video games with the words “Great timing.”
