Robbie Savage in fresh Antony dig as he slams Manchester United star's 'circus skills'

Robbie Savage has fired a warning to Manchester United star Antony following his controversial showboating in the Europa League against FC Sheriff.

The Red Devils’ maverick endured universal criticism during the midweek win over FC Sheriff for showboating before the deadlock was broken. With the scores at 0-0, Antony kept the ball glued to his left foot as he spun around in a circle, twice, while Manchester United were on the attack. But the Brazilian winger then overhit his pass to Casemiro as the ball went out for a goal kick.

Since arriving for £85million in the summer, Antony has turned heads for his eye-catching tricks and skills on the right flank. Comparisons have been made to a young Cristiano Ronaldo when he first graced the Old Trafford turf as an 18-year-old in 2003.
