Antony silences Erik ten Hag in best possible way after feeling Man Utd boss' angry wrath

Erik ten Hag made no attempt to hide his fury with Antony when he opted to shoot while Marcus Rashford was yelling for the ball - but the Manchester United winger redeemed himself emphatically.

Antony replaced Wout Weghorst at half-time during United's Europa League play-off against Barcelona and helped the hosts put in a much-improved second-half performance at Old Trafford. The Red Devils trailed 1-0 - and 3-2 on aggregate - at the interval after Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring from the spot.

But United came bursting out of the blocks for the second half and took less than two minutes to draw level thanks to Fred's effort from the edge of the area. Ten Hag's side had plenty of chances to snatch a winner - and Antony was guilty of squandering one of these just after the hour mark.
