Gary Neville urges Man Utd's Antony to copy Man City star after Rio Ferdinand criticism

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has urged Antony to emulate Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez... and stop himself from being "predictable".

Antony, 22, joined the Red Devils in August for £86million from Dutch giants Ajax, at the request of Erik ten Hag. The Brazilian winger made a bright start to life with a goal on his debut, but a series of poor performances recently have seen his on-field output questioned.

His latest sub-par display came during United's 3-0 victory away to Nottingham Forest in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. Even though Antony set up a goal for Wout Weghorst, he mostly flattered to deceive.
