Several pundits have criticised Antony's showboating antics in Manchester United's 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The Lowdown: Antony's moment of showboating

The Red Devils cruised to victory at Old Trafford, with Cristiano Ronaldo among the goalscorers, but the match will be remembered for one specific moment.

Antony received the ball during the first half with nobody around him and produced a bizarre piece of skill, swivelling twice with the ball stuck to his feet.

He then attempted a pass which was overhit for a goal-kick, with his antics ultimately killing a potentially dangerous attack.

The Latest: Antony criticised

Speaking on commentary for BT Sport, Robbie Savage fumed at what he saw from the 22-year-old, saying "if I was a manager, I’d drag him off":

Meanwhile, United legend Paul Scholes called it a 'ridiculous' moment, while BT commentator Ian Darke said it was 'out of Strictly Come Dancing', showing that they were similarly unimpressed.

The Verdict: Uncalled for

Producing entertaining moments as a footballer is all well and good, as long as it is done in the right moment and isn't seen as either unsporting or pointless.

Antony's behaviour against Sheriff fell into the latter category, with his attempted skill ultimately achieving nothing when he simply could have moved the ball quicker.

Erik ten Hag wasn't exactly enamoured by that moment either, judging by his post-match comments, and it is something that the Brazilian should cut out of his game, unless it is going actually benefit the team in tight spaces and open up an opposition defence.
