Ian Wright believes Antony's petulant swipe at Jeremy Doku in the Manchester derby is directly related to Bruno Fernandes setting the wrong example as club captain.
The £82million signing was lucky to escape a red card after he appeared to kick out at the Manchester City winger in the closing stages of United's 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
Antony earned himself a yellow card for twice taking a swipe at Doku and then slapping the City player's arm away when he remonstrated.
And Wright believes the Brazilian's behaviour stemmed from Fernandes' example.
