Paul Scholes was spot on with criticism after pointing blame at Man Utd star Antony

Paul Scholes got his scathing criticism over Manchester United winger Antony spot on during the embarrassing reverse at the hands of Manchester City at the weekend.

The Red Devils slumped to a humiliating 6-3 defeat at the Etihad Stadium having found themselves trailing 4-0 at half-time and 6-1 in the second half before a late brace from Anthony Martial restored at least some pride. Brazilian wideman Antony also managed to get on the scoresheet with a wonderful effort from distance. The strike was his second for the club since becoming United’s second-most expensive signing in a summer transfer from Dutch giants Ajax.

That was not enough to satisfy Scholes, though, who criticised the 22-year-old for his defensive work throughout the game.
