In the Manchester derby last night, Antony was brought on by coach Ten Hag in the 86th minute to replace Christian Eriksen. Contrary to expectations, the Brazilian star failed to show his ability in the short few minutes.

However, Antony still left an ugly image. The situation happened in the 90+2 minute, the Man Utd striker intentionally destroyed by kicking straight at Man City's Jeremy Doku's leg in anger.
Antony's foul play angered the Man City player. The two had a fight before the referee intervened. In this situation, referee Paul Tierney gave Antony a yellow card. Fortunately, Jeremy Doku was not injured.
After the match, former Man Utd player Gary Neville strongly condemned Antony's behavior. He shared: "Jeremy Doku was absolutely right to react like that. He was just fouled by Antony and had the right to react.
Antony was very embarrassed. I was lucky for him that he didn't get a red card. Man Utd were really chaotic in the last 10 minutes."

Meanwhile, another former Man Utd player, Roy Keane, said: "The two teams showed two different faces. Man Utd were inferior in every aspect to Man City. They need a very long way to catch up with their opponents."
Not only Antony, Bruno Fernandes also had a situation to bring down Jeremy Doku near the sideline but failed. Obviously, the reactions of Antony and Bruno Fernandes showed that Man Utd lost their direction.
They were completely outclassed by Man City in this match. The Red Devils suffered defeat without any excuses. Before the match, Pep Guardiola declared that he did not consider Man Utd a big rival. He proved that when he helped Man City "destroy" the team in the same city thanks to a completely different level.
