Diogo Dalot insists Antony’s flair is “part of his game” after the winger produced his showpiece skill for the first time at Manchester United during Thursday’s 3-0 Europa League win over FC Sheriff.
The Brazilian performed his ‘Anturny’ trademark move, which sees him drag the ball 360-degrees with his foot in one motion, not long before half-time with the score at 0-0. He then tried to thread a pass through to Casemiro, but overhit it for a goal-kick.
United boss Erik ten Hag reacted with a disappointed shake of the head while Dalot reminded him to stay in tune with the game following his mistake. But speaking to Sky Sports on Friday, the defender defended Antony for his theatrics.
