CASEMIRO found a novel way of passing on advice to team-mate David De Gea during the Man Utd’s FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout.
The Red Devils defeated Brighton 7-6 after Solly March skied his spot-kick in the contest.
Casemiro was spotted frantically waving his arms around during the shootout
It appeared Casemiro was offering David De Gea penalty advice
Spaniard De Gea, who has a poor record at saving penalties, was unable to stop any.
Which led to midfielder Casemiro doing his best to interfere as Adam Webster stepped up.
With the pressure on, the Brazil international was spotted maniacally jumping around on the halfway line and waving his hands in the air – hinting De Gea should follow suit.
The clip, which has been shared online, drew plenty of comment on social media.
One fan wrote: “What a joker,” alongside some laughing emojis, adding, “…Love him..”
Another penned: “Naming my first born Casemiro.”
A third joked: “He’s Brazilian he likes a Samba as much as the next one.”
Webster scored from the spot, so it didn’t quite work.
But, eager eyed fans did see De Gea conform to the dark arts of the game as he scuffed the penalty spot moments before Solly March stepped up to take his penalty.
March missed, allowing Victor Lindelof to fire home the wining penalty.
In other distracting tactics, as De Gea was scuffing the penalty spot Wout Weghorst kissed the ball before handing it over to the Brighton winger.
Still, Utd fans were left in disbelief at their FA Cup penalty shootout win over Brighton.
That’s after spotting David De Gea “reading his notes” and still not making one single save.
The shootout was marked by neither goalkeeper making a save.
Robert Sanchez came close on several occasions, even getting his hand to one effort.
But De Gea seemed to dive the wrong way almost every time.
The Spaniard constantly paused between efforts as he appeared to read secret notes hidden in his towel.
And United fans couldn’t believe they made it through the shootout against Brighton, especially considering De Gea’s previous records.

Most notable is the 2021 Europa League final defeat to Villarreal where he conceded 11 penalties before missing United’s crucial one himself.
One fan said: “De Gea just watching these penalties like us at home.”
Another declared: “So bad from March, all you have to do against De Gea is put it on target, man is a hologram.”
One noted: “De Gea took notes to a penalty shootout and dived the wrong way for almost all of them.”
Another added: “F*****g hell, we actually won a shootout and De Gea didn’t even need to save one.”
