Man Utd fans baffled as David de Gea posts cryptic clip of former boss Jose Mourinho after Casemiro red card
FANS urged David de Gea to speak his mind after the Manchester United keeper posted a curious clip of Jose Mourinho after Casemiro’s red card.
United’s key midfielder Casemiro earned what could be a costly ban for “choking” Crystal Palace’s Will Hughes as the Red Devils won 2-1.
And De Gea later put out a clip of ex-United boss Mourinho saying: “If I speak I am in big trouble, big trouble. And I don’t want to be in big trouble.”
The Spanish stopper didn’t spell out his meaning – but many fans believed it was a reference to the Casemiro decision, given on VAR.
The in-form Brazilian picked up his first ever straight red card as he grabbed Hughes in the font of the neck.
Ref Andre Marriner watched replays before delivering his verdict.
And when De Gea posted his enigmatic message fans rushed in urging him to explain his thoughts.
One wrote: “Speak!!!! It was a wrong call. We need to appeal that!! They are after our case.”
Another said: “Come on David, speak your mind!” and a third posted: “Let them hear it Dave”.
Bruno Fernandes‘ penalty and Marcus Rashford’s cracking team goal had left United deservedly cruising to victory.

But they creaked after Casemiro was dismissed.
Jeff Schlupp replied for Palace, leaving the Red Devils only just holding on to go third with victory.
Some United fans reckon Casemiro getting banned could actually help – as it will leave him fresh for potentially bigger games.
One posted: “If I could choose two teams for Casemiro to be suspended against it would probably be Leeds and Leicester.”
And this supporter agreed: “We should win both without him then he’s fully rested for Barca/Carabao (Cup) final.”
