Man United winger Antony got here in for some stick after doing the ‘I can’t hear you’ celebration to Coventry gamers at full-time on Sunday. Now, he’s defined his thought course of.
Manchester United progressed into the FA Cup ultimate by the pores and skin of their tooth final outing. Let’s be sincere, it was a poor efficiency as quickly as the primary objective was conceded.
Ultimately, it took a beneficial offside choice and a nervy penalty shootout for the Outdated Trafford membership to guide one other date with Manchester Metropolis in a Wembley showpiece match.
After the sport, Antony copped for loads of social media stick after an image of the Brazilian cupping his ears on the Coventry gamers began doing the rounds. I’ll be sincere, I wasn’t a fan of the motion on the time. I’m nonetheless not eager on it now.
Nonetheless, Antony has now come out and defined his choice to taunt the Coventry gamers, admitting he was defending the membership after the Sky Blues have been treating United followers in a ‘not good’ method.
Try what Antony needed to say in full right here:
“Coventry proved why they reached the semi-final. We seeked this spot within the ultimate for our followers and we achieved”.
“The best way our followers have been handled by their participant was not good and I, within the warmth of the second, I’ve reacted to the provocations in a pure protection of my membership”. Antony advised media, together with Fabrizio Romano.
Look. I get it. Tensions have been excessive. Antony is a really passionate footballer who all the time wears his coronary heart on his sleeve and he’ll know higher than anybody that this was a mistake within the warmth of the second.
He’ll in all probability all the time look again at it as a mistake, which is undoubtedly true. Nonetheless, it’s accomplished now. It didn’t damage anybody too badly, so we should always simply all transfer on and permit him to focus solely on his soccer.
If we’re being brutally sincere, we have to see extra manufacturing out of Antony sooner reasonably than later. The performances have been underwhelming, notably this season. I do know he’s had some off-field drama to take care of however we nonetheless have to see the Brazilian end out the season strongly. If he doesn’t, I genuinely concern his head might be on the chopping block within the coming months…
