AC Milan suffered a 2-1 defeat to Cremonese in their Serie A opener on Saturday.
Shortly after the game, former AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez posted a picture of himself winking and giving a thumbs-up on Instagram.
The timing and tone of the post led many fans to believe it was a deliberate jab at the club following his move to Al-Hilal.
Hernandez left Milan on a bitter note after failed contract extension talks, with the club unwilling to meet his salary demands.
