Roy Keane was not as impressed as the rest of Old Trafford with Antony’s sizzling first-half effort despite going within inches of scoring past Nottingham Forest in their second leg League Cup semi-final tie.
The Brazilian has put in some promising displays of late after a tough period post-World Cup albeit did score against both Charlton in the League Cup quarter-final and Everton in the FA Cup Third Round.
His fierce shot in the first leg of the semi-final led to Wout Weghorst’s first United goal and the team’s second on the night in the 3-0 victory after Wayne Hennessey could only parry his effort. And he came close to firing home again midway through the first-half of the return leg.
