Brazilian Winger Antony Santos Showboating Skills Annoys Paul Scholes
Ronaldo Ten Hag and Scholes reaction to Antony spinning.
Paul Scholes has last laugh after “one-trick pony” Antony is slammed following mishap Showboating Skills
Paul Scholes has once again criticised Antony after the Manchester United winger’s showboating turn went viral during Thursday night’s 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol.
Manchester United defeated FC Sheriff 3 nill at Old Trafford thanks to the goals from Dalot, Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.
During the game, Erik ten Hag made a lot of changes. Antony is one of them. Many believes the Brazillian was taken out because he had an unnecessary showoff of his spinning skill. However, after the match, the Dutch manager said that was not the reason and those changes were his plans from the beginning.

Football is becoming something else.
Thank you Ronaldinho for the wonderful moments 🙌
If it made my night, I want to see it more often.
We are tired of just seeing goals in a game.
I fell in love with football because I loved how Ronaldinho played. I became a fan of Man United because I loved showboating style of play too.
Antony Matheus Showboating Strictly because of entertainment
If you respect Ronaldinho so much, then you shouldn’t be offended by Antony turn. Enjoy the beauty of the game and it’s a part of it 💜
For me it’s ok… it has shown how confident he was…. no matter what others say.
People long forgot that football is a game meant to be enjoyed. If a team is leading by a margin, i don’t see the problem for a player to have a little bit of fun, the fans love it also. Don’t forget that at the end of the day, football is entertainment.
Sometimes it is necessary for entertaining the fans…Football is also for entertainment…so play your own style and win the matches… Antony bravo.
Paul Scholes criticizes Antony spinning tricks
Scholes said: “Look at Ten Hag’s reaction to Antony’s spin, that sums it up. 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.”
After the match, Ten Hag refused to criticise Antony directly for the incident but he did hint that he was unhappy when quizzed on the incident.
It’s always good and important to allow players to express themselves; it develops their confidence and skills as well. This is the problem with all English players and pundits: they think it’s useless or unnecessary to do tricks….. And that’s why it’s impossible to find an English player who can hold the ball when pressed.
Antony did this several times at Ajax. It became almost ‘normal’ so I believe ten Hag when he is saying that it wasn’t the reason that he substitute him.
Antony spin was effective against Sheriff. He allowed time for Dalot to draw his marker to the flank which created the space for Casemiro to run into. Casemiro’s marker was just looking at Antony and Antony’s marker as well, not knowing what to do exactly.
Then with the second spin, he won a bit of time for Casemiro to time his run. Just look at the play when Antony receives the ball vs when he’s done spinning. It was actually really really effective, that’s the funny part 😂 + the crowd loved it.
Then he just overhit the pass (something Bruno and Eriksen did regularly yesterday) and that’s why he got all the hate while the skill and the pass are two different things. If he lost the ball while spinning, of course he can get the criticism.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
