Antony bizarrely ridiculed by Indianapolis Colts as NFL team put Man Utd winger's face on Lionel Messi's body in savage TikTok video

Antony has come in for some savage treatment by the NFL side in a TikTok video. The post shows quarterback Anthony Richardson with a quote saying how Leicester City "had the greatest underdog story". That is followed up by another slide showing running back Jonathan Taylor and the message "No, Morocco did" in reference to their run to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals. The Indianapolis Colts then carried on with a picture showing Antony's face superimposed onto a photo of Lionel Messi winning the Ballon d'Or.

The video proved to be exceptionally popular and has already racked up over 110,000 views. It comes as Antony is preparing for a new Premier League campaign with the Red Devils. That Brazilian has failed to live up to his lofty price tag since arriving at the Red Devils from Ajax in a deal worth £85m ($105m). His disappointing performances, and classless celebrations against Coventry in the FA Cup, have brought plenty of criticism and even an admission from manager Erik ten Hag that the Brazilian was "not good" last season.

Antony managed just one Premier League goal last season for Manchester United in 29 appearances for the Red Devils, along with a solitary assist, as he struggled to make any meaningful impact in his favoured right-wing position.

Antony has been linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer but remains at Old Trafford as things stand. The Brazilian has blamed his poor form on issues in his personal life and has claimed his 2024-25 campaign "will be totally different."
