Man Utd keeper De Gea posts Mourinho meme in reaction to Casemiro red

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has shared an infamous meme of the club's former manager Jose Mourinho following their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

De Gea was reacting to teammate Casemiro's sending off.

Casemiro had been sent off after the Brazilian midfielder was seen with hands around the throat of Will Hughes, with United boss Erik ten Hag admitting after the match that the star had 'crossed the line'.

Ten Hag also claimed Crystal Palace's Jordan Ayew should have received the same punishment for his involvement, with the Dutchman calling for 'consistency' from the officials.

De Gea appeared to echo his manager's thoughts on social media, posting a clip of the club's former boss Mourinho.

The clip came from an interview given by Mourinho back in 2014, after the then-Chelsea manager was sent off following his side's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Mourinho had been asked post match about red cards given to Willian and Ramires in the defeat, with the Portuguese manager famously declining to comment to avoid being sanctioned.

"If I speak, I am in big trouble, and I don't want to be in big trouble," Mourinho said.
