Erik ten Hag pledges to 'correct' Antony in analysis of 'ridiculous' Man Utd incident

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has pledged to continue improving Antony after he was criticised for showing a "ridiculous" show of skill in the side’s three-goal win over FC Sheriff Tiraspol.

Diogo Dalot, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo were all on target as United sealed a comfortable victory at home to the Moldovan champions in Thursday’s night Europa League action at Old Trafford – as they sealed their place in the knockout stages.

The Brazilian did not have his most impactful performance during the game, with his most eye-catching moment coming as he performed a double pirouette on the ball – before playing a pass towards the penalty area in the direction of the onrushing Casemiro, but it went straight out of play. Antony was substituted off at half-time for Rashford, who scored United’s second goal.
