Antony responds to Paul Scholes and showboating critics as Man Utd ace says ‘I won’t stop doing what got me where I am!’

ANTONY says he won̢۪t stop showboating despite a warning from his boss and criticism from pundits.

The Manchester United winger did a 720-degree spin with the ball during Thursday night̢۪s 3-0 win over FC Sheriff before attempting a pass that ran out of play.

It brought cheers from the crowd but derision elsewhere.

But responding on Instagram with a video of the moment, Antony said: “We are known for our art and I won’t stop doing what got me where I am!”

The £85million summer signing, also sporting a new peroxide blonde hair do, performed the trick with the game still goalless in the first-half and was subbed at the break.

After the game manager Erik ten Hag said he did not mind a ‘trick’ on the field as long as there was an end product.

On this occasion there was none, and when the camera panned to Ten Hag after Antony̢۪s antics he could be seen rolling his eyes.

Ten Hag said: “When there is a trick like that, it’s nice as long as it’s functional. If you’re not losing the ball, then it’s OK – but if it’s a trick because of a trick, then I will correct him.”;

No-nonsense pundit and United legend Paul Scholes was certainly having non of it.

Scholes said: “What is he thinking? He’s not beating a man, he’s not entertaining anybody, it’s 0-0 and then he kicks the ball out.

“But that’s the way he plays, I’ve seen him do it many times for Ajax as well and that’s just the way he is, but I think he needs that knocking out of him.”;

BT co-commentator Robbie Savage was equally unimpressed with what he saw.

Savage said: “He’s done that then puts the ball out of play. It’s quite embarrassing actually. Doing that with nobody near him and then he puts the ball out of play.”
