'Whoops!': Paul Scholes admits a mistake after his criticism of Manchester United's Antony as a 'one-trick pony' in Europe backfired when he scored for a third straight Premier League game against Everton

Paul Scholes has made a light-hearted response to criticism of Antony in the build-up to Manchester United's 2-1 win at Everton on Sunday.

The Manchester United legend had the gall to call the Brazilian winger a 'one-trick pony' after their Europa League match on Thursday - only for the 22-year-old to score against the Toffees three days later.

An Instagram user highlighted the 47-year-old's controversial comment, alongside a picture of Antony celebrating his goal. The user opted to soundtrack their Story with Limp Bizkit's 2000 song 'My Generation', which was released the same year that Manchester United's summer signing was born.
