Former Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong has ended his brief spell in American soccer by leaving LA Galaxy for Galatasaray but he wasn't exactly give the greatest of send-offs from the MLS's official Twitter account.

Having played for City, Ajax and AC Milan throughout his career, de Jong opted to try his hand in the States back in January 2016, linking up with former Premier League rivals Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane at the Galaxy.
