PIC: We never had David de Gea pegged as a Slipknot fan

All he needs now is one of those creepy masks.

If David de Gea controls mosh pits like he bosses his six yard box, we reckon he escaped without a scratch.

The Manchester United goalkeeper, who has arguably been the best stopper in the Premier League in the first half of the season, posted a picture of the stage at a Slipknot concert he attended last night.

De Gea is one of the players you’d be least likely to expect to be a heavy metal fan but you’d be bloody wrong as he revealed in an interview last year that he was, in fact, a metalhead.

“I like metal and rock bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica,” he said on the club’s official website.

“When I put it on in the dressing room, everyone moans. Most of the other players are into hip-hop.”
