Diogo Dalot sums up Man Utd dressing room feelings towards Antony's showboating

Diogo Dalot has insisted Manchester United are lucky to have a player like Antony and the reaction to his showboating has been blown out of proportion.

The £85million summer signing made headlines on Thursday night after he performed an audacious piece of trickery during the routine win over FC Sheriff Tiraspol. With no defenders in close proximity, Antony proceeded to do a double pirouette on the ball, before overhitting his pass out of play.

The incident was condemned by several pundits, including United legend Paul Scholes who branded it "ridiculous" and suggested the antics needed to be "knocked out of him". Manager Erik ten Hag didn't appear overly enamoured either, shaking his head in the dugout before hauling him off at half-time of the Europa League encounter.
