'Not even I would do this!' - Man Utd flop Antony savagely mocked by Premier League bad boy Neal Maupay after embarrassing FA Cup semi-final celebrations

Coventry staged a remarkable comeback in the FA Cup semifinals as they came back from 3-0 down to force extra-time against United, leaving Erik ten Hag's side clinging to victory by the narrowest of margins following a dramatic penalty shoot-out. After Rasmus Hojlund converted the decisive penalty, Antony was seen cupping his ears towards the Coventry players - and the Brazilian's actions have been widely condemned.

Maupay, known for his provocative on-field behaviour, has earned a reputation for being a Premier League “sh*thouse” who usually thrives on riling up opposition players. The Brentford star, currently on loan from Everton, is infamous for imitating James Maddison's darts celebration and also got into a heated altercation with Manchester City's Kyle Walker after he allegedly commented on the defender's personal life. But even Maupay was stunned after watching Antony's antics and said on X: "Just for the record, not even I would do this 😭."

Several pundits also hit out at Antony for his excessive celebrations after beating a Championship side on penalties. Former Coventry striker Clinton Morrison said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “He needs to worry about his own job instead of Coventry because some of his performances this season show he could be playing in the Championship.”

Former Aston Villa star Gabriel Agbonlahor added on X: "Antony cups his ears as he celebrates in front of Coventry players? Is this guy the most shameless flop ever to grace our beautiful league? Shame on you Antony, you wouldn't even start for Coventry you prat."

Antony has managed just two goals and two assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this season, which highlights the poor form he has endured since last summer. He will likely be back in action on Wednesday evening when United come up against Sheffield United in the Premier League.
