A new angle has emerged in which Antony goaded Coventry City players by bowling his ears after Manchester United beat them on penalties in the FA Cup semi-final.

The £85million striker twisted the knife in the mocking celebration after United beat the Sky Blues 4-2 on penalties after drawing 3-3 in regular time.

United had built a commanding 3-0 lead but the Championship side staged a comeback and Erik ten Hag’s side barely got through, making Antony’s celebrations all the more nauseating.

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor slammed Antony’s behavior on

‘Is this man the most shameless flop ever in our beautiful competition? Shame on you Antony, you wouldn’t even start for Coventry you bastard.’

Ex-Coventry striker Clinton Morrison was also scathing about Antony on BBC Radio 5 Live, saying: ‘He needs to concentrate on himself because he could play [in] the championship next season.’

Antony has contributed just two goals and assists this campaign and was largely ineffective at Wembley.

He replaced Alejandro Garnacho in the 66th minute as United led 3-0, conceding goals after goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes.

United then collapsed as Coventry scored three times through Ellis Simms, Callum O’Hare and Haji Wright to force extra time.

Ten Hag’s men had a fortunate escape in the 121st minute when Victor Torp’s dramatic ‘winner’ for Coventry was disallowed by VAR because Wright, who was assisting him, strayed moderately offside in the build-up.

After Casemiro saw a terrible penalty saved, O’Hare’s kick was kept out by Andre Onana before Ben Sheaf missed. Rasmus Hojlund converted the decisive penalty to send United to the final.

It was at that moment that Antony fled to celebrate wildly.

On the other hand, most of United’s players lagged behind and looked almost sheepish.

“Some United players and supporters didn’t go over the top during the celebrations,” Roy Keane said on ITV. ‘They were almost ashamed to win in the end.

‘Every time I see this United team I don’t like what I see. Speaking of leadership and character, I don’t see that in this United team. My God, they tried their luck today.”
