Manchester United midfielder Fred said criticism of Antony’s piece of skill in the 3-0 win over FC Sheriff is unwelcome, and suggested he believes the fact the winger is Brazilian has something to do with the amount of flak he is copping.
United legend Paul Scholes branded the winger a “clown” for producing his trademark spin, dubbed 'The Anturny', before over-hitting a pass out of play. Scholes said at half-time on BT Sport: “If I was a number six playing out there I know what I would be doing.
“I don’t know what he is doing, it is just ridiculous. He is not beating a man, he is not entertaining anybody, then he kicks the ball out. But that is the way he plays but I think he needs that knocking out of him.”
