It's a lovely message, showing that while de Jong may ply his trade elsewhere, his heart still lies in Manchester.
There's just one thing.
Nigel de Jong didn't win the Premier League in 2011.
Manchester United did.

Problem solved.
Only when you add it to Fernando confusing his Capital One Cup win with the FA Cup earlier this summer, it begs the question: why can't Manchester City players get their facts right?
Maybe they need more help proof reading their tweets. They simply shouldn't be making these mitsakes.
#TBT with caution.
