De Gea responds to playful message from team-mate Casemiro.
David de Gea replied to Casemiro’s lighthearted message, in which the Brazilian quipped to his Manchester United colleague, “Love you d*ckhead.”
Brazilian international Casemiro arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 after signing a lucrative transfer from Real Madrid, but he has already adapted well to life in England and established himself as a vital member of the Red Devils’ locker room.
In Erik ten Hag’s designs, his qualities both on and off the field have made him a talismanic figure, and the South American is always up for some lighthearted banter that keeps spirits high in the United camp.
Casemiro appears to have grown close with De Gea, with the Spanish goalkeeper revealing on social media that the Brazilian scrawled an “I love you d*ckhead” message on an autograph card. United’s No.1 was happy to play along as he responded with a “love you too bro” post alongside a heart and laughing emoji.
Casemiro has collected two red cards for United this season, forcing him to serve a couple of bans, but he is back at Ten Hag’s disposal now and will be hoping to help the Red Devils add to their Carabao Cup triumph this term as they look to chase down FA Cup and Europa League honours. De Gea, meanwhile, has broken United’s all-time clean sheet record this season and is waiting to discover whether he will be handed a new contract.
