Cristiano Ronaldo tried and failed to repeat the eye-catching double pirouette spin with the ball that his Manchester United teammate Antony pulled off three days earlier.
Antony performed the extravagant spin during United’s three-goal win over FC Sheriff Tiraspol in Thursday’s Europa League action. The Brazilian drew criticism from critics as he subsequently played the following pass – directed towards Casemiro – straight out of play.
However, it appears that the move is viewed somewhat differently within United’s squad as Ronaldo attempted the spin in the pre-match warm-up ahead of his side’s clash against West Ham in Sunday’s Premier League action.
