Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has sent a cryptic tweet following Everton's controversial goal during their 1-1 draw on Sunday.

The Blues took the lead at Old Trafford through an own goal from Victor Lindelof in the first half.

Mason Greenwood equalised for United ten minutes from time but de Gea was left unhappy that Everton's opener was allowed to stand.

It appeared on first glance as though De Gea had missed his punch after pressure from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the ball then evading both and striking  Lindelof  before rolling into an empty net.

However, replays showed that the Everton striker appeared to catch De Gea in the face with his arm as he jumped for the ball.

Referee Michael Oliver awarded the goal, understandably and VAR official Craig Pawson didn't reverse the decision, much to the surprise of former Manchester United captain Gary Neville.

"I'm surprised. Usually, a goalkeeper gets that when the arm gets put across them," he said during commentary on Sky Sports.

"I did think initially that even on the replay David de Gea should have been stronger but he did have that arm on him.

"He didn't complain that much, David de Gea. It's just that left arm from Calvert-Lewin. I am surprised that hasn't been given but he did need to be stronger, the goalkeeper."

Despite not complaining on the field, de Gea clearly took grievance with the decision and uploaded a picture of the incident on Twitter later on Sunday.

De Gea opted to use the 'looking eye' emoji, as if to point out an obvious error had been missed by both the referee and the VAR official.
