Following Manchester United's victory over Crystal Palace, goalkeeper David de Gea of Manchester United shared a fantastic Jose Mourinho animated gif.
Casemiro grabbed Will Hughes by the throat and was immediately given a straight red card. Players from both teams collided at the hour mark, and pushing and shoving resulted in bookings for both Antony and Jeffrey Schlupp.
But when VAR called referee Andre Marriner to the screen, the on-field official singled out Casemiro for aggressive behavior and brandished a red card.
Manchester United appeared perplexed by the choice, as seen by the red-clad individuals who surrounded Marriner and enquired as to his thinking. Reds goalie De Gea posted a humorous meme on his official Twitter account following the game's conclusion.
The video evokes Mourinho's time at Chelsea and one of his post-game interviews. The Portuguese manager was obviously upset about the level of officiating, but because he had previously received a fine for his harsh criticism, he decided to keep his mouth shut this time. Instead, he chose to make hints at his ire without saying anything that would get him in trouble.
David De Gea appears to have chosen a similar course, which United supporters praised on social media.
Soon after the incident, the Spaniard conceded one goal, but thanks to a staunch defense, he was able to prevent Patrick Vieira's team from scoring again and salvaging a point.
Manchester United's manager was not impressed with the match officials decisions, although he vindicated Casemiro's red card but he slammed how match officials have been treating the Red Devils lately with their poor match officiating.
"Casemiro crossed the line; you saw that," the Dutchman admitted post-match.
"However, I'm unhappy with the inconsistent refereeing; not only this game but also [away to] Palace. They elbowed Martinez and last week with Eriksen. A lot of other players crossed the line, including some Crystal Palace players. VAR didn't intervene with them."
