Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is backing former club Atletico Madrid tonight in their Champions League semifinal at Real Madrid.
De Gea is a target for Real, but that hasn't stopped him sending his support to Atletico.
Diario Gol says De Gea sent a Whatsapp message to an unnamed Atletico player, claiming he expected them to overcome their bitter rivals and reigning European champions.
Real are determined to push through a deal for De Gea in what would have to be a world record fee for a goalkeeper.
However, De Gea's alleged message will not go down well at Real - with his Atletico past a potential friction-point with supporters.
