Antony, a Manchester United winger, has received criticism for his gesture towards Coventry City’s players after the FA Cup semi-final victory. After Rasmus Hojlund’s winning penalty at Wembley, Antony was seen cupping his ears towards the Coventry players, a gesture that has sparked controversy and backlash.
United had led the game with a 3-0 lead, but Coventry’s resilience forced the match into extra-time. Despite being substituted into the game in the 66th minute, Antony made little impact and did not take a penalty during the shootout.
Many have criticized his actions, given his minimal impact on the game. However, Antony defended his gesture on social media, claiming that it was in response to the Coventry player Haji Wright’s disrespect towards the United supporters.
Wright had apparently made a gesture towards the United fans after scoring a penalty for Coventry. The aftermath of the incident has sparked discussions and debates among fans and the media.
The situation remains an ongoing topic of interest and scrutiny.
