Erik ten Hag has reiterated that he does not have a problem with Antony using skills in matches so long as they are productive.
The Brazilian came in for criticism from some pundits when he produced his trademark 360-degree swivel showpiece before hitting the ball out of play with the game goalless in the first-half of Thursday’s 3-0 win over FC Sheriff.
Paul Scholes said Antony had acted like a “clown” while Robbie Savage branded the incident “embarrassing.” A number of team-mates have come out to defend his move, with both Diogo Dalot and Fred insisting that it is just part of his game.
