Antony sent same Man Utd warning that left Cristiano Ronaldo in tears

Antony has been warned to become more humble and cut down on "crazy things" if he wants to make an impact at Man Utd, in comments reminiscent of the early advice which left Cristiano Ronaldo in tears.

The Brazil international joined United from Ajax over the summer in a deal worth more than £80m. He scored on his debut for the club in a victory over Arsenal, and impressed against Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but his contribution pales in comparison to that of top scorer Marcus Rashford.

Former Premier League star Rafael van der Vaart has suggested the 22-year-old's showmanship shouldn't be his main focus, given what he has achieved so far in his career. The comments bring to mind some of the criticisms levelled at Ronaldo after the Portugal star joined United as a teenager, and their new man will hope he can come close to making the impact of his former team-mate.
