Antony 'IGNORED orders from Erik ten Hag to track back and help Diogo Dalot' during Man United's derby humiliation at Man City with the manager left fuming at the £85m Brazilian

Manchester United's £85million signing Antony 'ignored orders from Erik ten Hag to track back and help the defence' during Sunday's 6-3 drubbing by Manchester City.

While the Brazilian winger did score at the Etihad Stadium on what was a humiliating afternoon for United, he apparently didn't do enough defensively.

The Sun report that Ten Hag expressly told Antony he would have to help out Diogo Dalot when United came under pressure from City.

That message was hammered home in training sessions ahead of the derby and again before kick-off.
