A video that showed how irritated Antony was after Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag decided to play the winger at left back against Liverpool in the FA Cup, goes viral.

After the Brazilian scored the second goal of the season for Manchester United against Liverpool to force extra time, the former Ajax midfielder was switched to an unfamiliar position in the extra time of the game.

The video from the stands showed Antony moving away from Erik Ten Hag's team talk in the first half of the extra time and giving a mind-blowing gesture before staring at the manager in disbelief.


Antony received words of encouragement from Marcus Rashford and Eriksen, who told him to get on with it. Andre Onana was also present to bring some calmness to the Manchester United team.

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag, who had consistently suffered defeats against Liverpool in previous matches, went for all-out attacks in an attempt to desperately defeat the Kop.

The manager substituted Victor Lindelof and brought Mason Mount into the squad.

This tactically moved Antony to the left. In addition, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes played as center backs.

Scott McTominay, Mason Mount, and Christian Eriksen were all in the midfield. Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo, and Alejandro Garnacho played as attackers in the match.

Thanks to the Amad Diallo goal, Manchester United will be moving to Wembley to play against Coventry in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It was a historical victory against their arch-rivals, who had been on top of their game all season.

Manchester United are expected to defeat Coventry to qualify for the FA Cup finals against either Chelsea or Manchester City.

A lot of football fans are expecting Manchester United to maintain the intensity they showed against Liverpool until the end of the season. The team wants to end the season with the FA Cup and also qualify for the 2024–25 Champions League season.

In addition, Erik Ten Hag also wants to save his job, with the media already linking different managers to the Manchester United job.

What Antony Said After the Match Against Liverpool

After the match, the player said, "Sacrifice, sacrifice. When the coach said that, we found it a bit strange but sacrificing for the group, sacrificing for the team, that's fine with me."

Antony had been heavily criticized by Manchester United fans over the months due to his poor judgment and football sense.

Many had called for the sale of the Brazilian to fund the transfer of another player capable of scoring goals.

Even though he lost his place to Marcus Rashford and Garnacho, the player is looking forward to winning his place back ahead of next season.
