David de Gea makes Casemiro joke after stunning goal for Manchester United vs Bournemouth

David de Gea has identified Casemiro as the surprise solution to Manchester United's goalscoring problems - joking that the Brazilian should be played as a striker.

Casemiro scored the only goal of the game after nine minutes as United beat Bournemouth 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

The 31-year-old produced a brilliantly improvised overhead kick from close range after Cherries defender Marcos Senesi got a touch on Christian Eriksen's lofted ball.

United's usual go-to man, Marcus Rashford, was absent through illness on the south coast. The Reds talisman has 29 goals this season, almost three times more than anyone else at the club. RATINGS: Casemiro and Varane good in Bournemouth win Anthony Martial was relatively ineffective for the 57 minutes he was on the pitch, with his replacement Wout Weghorst yet to find the net in the Premier League.
