ANTONY didn’t get a red card for a crazy fight with Jeremy Doku, which happened right after the Manchester United player came on in Sunday’s 3-0 win over City.
People who follow Manchester United say that the team “lost their heads” in the last few minutes. Bruno Fernandes and “embarrassing” Antony were both booked for fighting with Doku. But it was the Brazilian’s fight that shocked people the most.
United’s home loss was already a done deal when Phil Foden scored in the 80th minute after Erling Haaland had scored twice.
And it was deep into extra time that Antony started a shocking string of complaints about Doku, the player who was in great form.
As the Belgian came in from the left, the former Ajax star had already swung his foot out twice. Even though City got a free kick, Antony still got into a fight with Doku and then raised an arm at him.
Even though VAR looked into it, the wide player only got a yellow card.
One fan thought Antony was just tired of Doku’s little show of fancy dancing.
He wrote: “Doku showing Antony how to dribble like an actual winger, you can almost taste his tears.” Antony is mad that Doku lied to him,” wrote someone else. There is real punishment.”
A third described the events leading up to the final arm wave as “Antony kicking Doku out of frustration.”
A fourth said, “What an embarrassing moment for a United player.”
