Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has taken aim at Antony for taunting Coventry’s players in the aftermath of the side’s FA Cup semi-final victory at the weekend.
The Red Devils appeared to be cruising towards next month?s showpiece after goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes put Erik ten Hag?s men firmly in the driving seat at Wembley.
However, United were left stunned as Ellis Simms, Callum O’Hare and Haji Wright netted in a spirited second-half fightback from Coventry, with the Championship picking themselves up off the floor to force extra-time.
It even looked as if Coventry had won it in the dying moments of extra-time as Victor Torp beat Andre Onana from close range, only for the video assistant referee to disallow the goal for offside.
After United emerged victorious from a nerve-jangling penalty shootout, Antony was pictured turning and cupping his ears in the direction of Coventry’s dejected players as Ten Hag’s men set up a final against holders Manchester City.
Former United winger Lee Sharpe criticised Antony’s ‘out-of-order’ reaction as he reflected on Sunday’s pulsating semi-final and Ferdinand has followed suit, slamming the Brazilian’s ’embarrassing’ behaviour.
