Manchester United Goalkeeper David De Gea Jokes With Watford Forward Josh King At Half-Time

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was spotted 'joking' with Watford goalscorer Joshua King as the away side went into the break at 2-0 down.

Ahead of this weekend's clash, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer promised the club's fans to expect a 'reaction' from his team after the international break but in reality, it was an abysmal opening 45 minutes at Vicarage Road.

They conceded a penalty in the opening minutes and, despite David de Dea pulling off brilliant saves on two separate occasions, United struggled as goals from Josh King and Ismaïla Sarr gave Claudio Ranieri's side a deserved lead.

As the players walked towards the dressing room at half-time, cameras spotted De Gea joking around with former teammate King; a scene that brought plenty of reaction on social media.

One Twitter user commented: "Can't wait to hear Roy Keane pop off about this," while another said: "These players do not respect Ole. They do not respect the coaching staff."

Thoughts on that first-half performance from Manchester United?
