Neymar wades in to Antony showboating row after criticism from Man Utd legends

Neymar has defended Antony after the Manchester United star was criticised for showboating against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.

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 under no pressure. He followed up that skill by 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 Marcus Rashford, who scored United's second goal in their 3-0 win and found himself criticised for his first-half antics.
