Mourinho implies Casillas behind De Gea Spain criticism
Jose Mourinho claims former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillias is the driving force behind the criticism David de Gea has received for Spain.
De Gea has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world while playing for Manchester United, but has not been able to duplicate that form as of late for Spain.
He struggled in the World Cup and has not been able to snap out of his recent slump, having saved fewer than half the shots he has faced since the start of the tournament in Russia.
