Antony joined Manchester United from Ajax over the summer and had a bright stat to life in England.

He scored three goals in his first three league matches and firmly cemented himself as United main right-winger.

However, the Brazilian has been criticised for some of his play in recent weeks.

Antony came under fire during United’s 3-0 win over Sheriff on Thursday for his skills, with Paul Scholes labelling him a ‘clown’ for the moves, in particular a wayward pass which came at the end of it, and suggested Erik ten Hag later substituted the United player partly as a result of his action:

“You saw his reaction on the bench,” the 47-year-old told BT Sport. “I think it frustrated him. I just don’t know what it achieves. I love a little bit of showboating, and entertainment but at least get the pass right.

“Does that do anything for anybody? Does that do anything for himself? I’d have to ask him – even at 4-0 up what does that do for you?

However, Antony has since hit out at his criticism.

Posting a clip of the skill on his Instagram, Antony wrote: “We are known for our art and I won’t stop doing what got me to where I am!”
