Manchester United winger Antony received a lot of criticism for his skill against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night.
The 22-year-old made his famous shot before passing it for a goal kick.
United legend Paul Scholes criticized Antony on BT Sport: “If I was at number 6 I know what I’d be doing.”
“It’s just ridiculous; It’s exhibitionism.”
“He’s not beating up a man, he’s not entertaining anyone, but that’s who he is.”
“I also saw him do it at Ajax, and it is like that, but he needs to be taken out.”
Antony responded to the criticism by posting on Instagram.
He uploaded a story that translates to: “We are known for our art and I will not stop doing what got me where I am!”

Antony is a special player who is still raw and developing.
Erik ten Hag will know very well how to turn him into the player we all know he can become.
While some may criticize the unnecessary skill, others may find it entertaining and part of why they love football.
