Former Netherlands international Rafael van der Vaart criticised Manchester United attacker Antony for keeping hold of the ball for too long during the defeat against Manchester City on Sunday.
The Brazilian winger scored a consolation goal for the Reds in the second period with a stunning strike, but Erik ten Hag's side were unable to mount a comeback and lost 6-3 at the Etihad.
Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both grabbed hat-tricks for the home side, with United substitute Anthony Martial returning from injury to score a brace late on in the clash.
