Manchester United winger Antony has snapped back at Paul Scholes for calling him "a clown" after showing off his trademark move against FC Sheriff last month.
During that Europa League game, the summer signing from Ajax drew attention for a 720-degree spin with former United midfielder Scholes not best pleased after watching it in his role as a TV pundit. Antony, 23, has carved out a reputation for his fleet-footed skills since bursting onto the European stage.
However, while Brazilian flair is part of his DNA - having grown up watching Ronaldinho and Neymar among others - Antony was heavily criticised by Scholes and other observers at the time. Due to a leg injury, Antony has not played since that meeting at Old Trafford on Thursday, October 27.
