And the bizarre incident left United fans wondering just what he was doing.
Taking to Twitter one fan asked: “What on earth was De Gea doing?!”
A second added: “What the hell was that ”
A third remarked: “What did I just watch?”
Some fans wagered at a guess of what may have transpired.
“Break dancing by the looks of it,” said one fan.
A second said: “Making errors since he’s not done many this season. It’s tradition.”
While another suggested: “Keeping the game interesting.”
The blunder comes as he edges closer to a new deal at Old Trafford, while Crystal Palace goalie Jack Butland has also been brought in on loan to provide back up.
However, some fans seemed to want the Englishman between the sticks straight away.
One fan said: “De Gea howler. Time for Butland.”
A second added: “Butland where you at mate de gea is sleeping.”
Another fan declared: “De Gea, I will forever be haunted by this comical nonsense.”
Antony initially opened the scoring for United after four minutes following an excellent burst of pace from Marcus Rashford to set up a passing lane to the far post.
