Erik ten Hag hooks Antony at half-time after showboating in the first half that left pundits far from impressed... with Paul Scholes insisting the Brazilian 'needs that knocking out of him' and Robbie Savage dubbing 720 spin 'embarrassing'

Manchester United forward Antony was subbed off at half-time, having shown off his trademark 720 spin on the ball but without the intended effect late on in the first period.

The Brazilian found himself in space on the right-hand side with game still at 0-0, but rather than drive at the Sheriff defence, he chose that moment to showboat, before putting the ball out of play with a poorly judged forward pass.

And pundits were left seething with his actions, which came as his side were still in the hunt for an opening goal in the game.
