In the 67th minute, coach Erik ten Hag sent Antony onto the field to increase Man Utd’s attack power. While preparing to make a substitution, the Brazilian striker had an attention-grabbing expression. He raised his eyebrows, his face looking extremely serious like a boxer about to fight.
However, Antony’s expression did not receive sympathy. On the contrary, it brought a burst of laughter to the online community.
One person said: “Antony tries to act serious but it’s funny”
The second fan expressed: “It looks like he will score a double”
The third continues: “That’s it, Antony is about to swallow Arsenal and bring victory to Man Utd”,
Another one comment: “Antony is 100% cool, 0% damage”
Another added: “Man Utd’s most harmless player”
Previously, Antony also created controversy on the day Man Utd defeated Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals on April 21. The 24-year-old midfielder’s action of teasing his opponent was fiercely criticized. Antony celebrated somewhat excessively, while the “Red Devils” stars were disappointed that the lower-ranked team was dragged into a penalty shootout despite leading by 3 goals.
Antony played an unimpressive game against Arsenal as per usual. When this player is used as a substitute, nothing happens to him. This season, after 29 Premier League games, the former Ajax great only managed one goal and one assist.
The Athletic claims that Antony is committed to staying at Old Trafford in order to further his career. Nobody, though, can ensure the Brazilian midfielder’s future. The Brazilian player will probably follow in his teacher’s footsteps if Erik ten Hag is sacked.
