As one of the world's great sporting institutions, Manchester United's DNA is based on skill, verve and entertainment.
But Antony's spinning-top showboating against Sheriff Tiraspol went too far. I don't know if it was his natural Brazilian flair coming out to play, or maybe he was simply too eager to impress United fans.
In the BT Sport commentary box, I said it was “embarrassing” because Antony was under no pressure – there wasn't a yellow shirt within 10 yards of him – and his attempted pass to team-mate Casemiro was overhit, rolling out harmlessly for a goal kick. I would also add that it was unsuitable in the moment. Sheriff may have been underdogs, but their 6-3-1 formation had smothered United up to that point and it was 0-0.
