Casemiro's reaction as David de Gea hugged Ivan Rakitic ahead of Manchester United's Europa League game against Sevilla has fans buzzing.
On Thursday night, United looked to beat Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final at Old Trafford.
United got off to a quick start with two goals in the seven-minute span of January signing Marcel Sabitzer giving Erik ten Hag's men a 2-0 lead after 21 minutes.
However, it was what Casemiro did before the game started that got United fans talking.
As the players lined up in the tunnel before the game started, De Gea was seen hugging Sevilla player Rakitic, Casemiro's face a photograph as he looked on looking quite impressed. However, this is not the first time Casemiro has reacted to De Gea hugging an opposing player.
The goalkeeper was caught hugging Sergio Busquets ahead of United's Europa League play-off against Barcelona, ??which fans have now caught as they took to social media in response to the backlash from Casemiro.

One person said:
"Casemiro watching De Gea kiss the former Barcelona rival is a mood."
Another person tweeted:
"Don't show this photo to Roy Keane."
A third fan added:
"Don't hate Rakitic that much, in terms of performance compared to Sergio."
Another person wrote:
"It's not even like Rakatic is Spaniard, what is that relationship."
While a fifth commented:
"Why did he even kiss Rakitic?" Busquet was once his national teammate. Rakitic's makes no sense.
Another United fan added:
"Must love this guy."
After a brilliant start, Sevilla threatened to return to the game just before half-time, but De Gea made a brilliant save to deny Tanguy Nianzou. If United lead Spain next week in the second leg, they will be in the lead to secure a place in the semi-finals of the tournament.
Ten Hag's army can meet Juventus or Sporting Lisbon in the next round.
