Man Utd millionaire mocks opponents post-advancement! Fans: 'Shameless!'

For two consecutive years, Manchester United successfully reached the FA Cup final, undoubtedly a commendable achievement. However, in the semi-finals, United winger Anthony's actions stirred controversy. Even United's coach, Ten Hag, couldn't overlook Anthony's behavior, stating that Anthony shouldn't have acted in such a manner. So, what exactly did Anthony do?

Since joining Manchester United, Anthony has been surrounded by controversy, not just for his high price tag but also for his on and off-field behavior, which has sparked numerous debates. The situation in the FA Cup semi-final was no different. At halftime, United was comfortably leading by three goals. However, in the second half, Coventry City players started to rally, eventually equalizing in stoppage time, leading to a penalty shootout.

Ultimately, Manchester United won the match on penalties. However, it was Anthony's controversial gesture that drew attention. With his hands held to his ears, he taunted the opposing players. Such behavior is unbecoming of a player representing a prestigious club. It's worth noting that Anthony earns £200,000 per week, while the entire Coventry City team's weekly wages amount to only £190,000, less than what Anthony earns alone. Therefore, Coventry City's ability to come back from a 3-0 deficit to draw 3-3 is indeed a commendable feat.

Anthony's actions faced criticism post-match. In contrast, his teammate Maguire's behavior stood in stark contrast. Instead of celebrating with his teammates after the match, Maguire chose to shake hands with the opposition players, showing respect. United's coach, Ten Hag, indirectly criticized Anthony, stating that players like Maguire performed better, and Anthony should find more appropriate ways to express his emotions. Subsequently, Ten Hag also praised Coventry City's performance.

Anthony's mocking gesture was displeasing. As a Manchester United player, he should have shown greater sportsmanship towards the opponents. It's worth noting that his teammate Maguire's behavior was more dignified and deserving of praise.

Anthony's behavior is totally inappropriate. Acting this way only diminishes his own worth, there's nothing else to it.

The saying goes that the less skilled people tend to show off more, and Anthony happens to be such a person. Besides running around aimlessly on the field, he can't do much else. Those good players rely on outstanding dribbling skills, excellent passing, and spectacular goals to attract fans' attention. But our Anthony is different. As a Brazilian, he can't dribble, can't score goals, and his passing is average at best. However, he can mock players from lower-tier teams, he can draw circles, and he can beat up his girlfriend. It's with these actions that he seeks attention from fans. The most crucial thing is that such a mediocre player cost Manchester United 95 million euros. Let's talk about this game. The turning point was when Anthony replaced Gana Jo in the 66th minute, and before that, Manchester United was leading 3-0. So our Ten Hag decided to rest his main players and sent in trash to show off. And Anthony didn't disappoint Ten Hag. Since he came on, Manchester United's attack lost its edge, while Coventry City stepped up. Maybe seeing a mediocre player on the field was exciting. Coventry City smoothly equalized the score and dragged the game into a penalty shootout. Honestly, I really hoped Coventry City could eliminate Manchester United, but penalties are all about luck, and Coventry City couldn't create a miracle. But they did slap Manchester United's face hard. Then our mediocre Anthony started showing off again. Beating a lower-tier team and still being able to mock them, it's truly pathetic. Facing Manchester City in the final, I don't think Manchester United stands a chance.

I really admire Maguire's demeanor. Anthony must be speechless, he's basically ruining his own value....

If Ten Hag gets sacked, Anthony's days at Manchester United will be numbered. Moreover, his performance over the past two seasons hasn't just seen a significant drop in his value but has also deterred many top clubs from pursuing him.

Naive... If you want to mock, do it in private. Choosing to do it in public, under the camera's eye, is just foolish.

To be honest, you can see it from one perspective: players like Messi and Anthony, who started playing football at a young age without moral education, only know the capitalist aspect of the game. How high can their quality be? Scoring goals is just scoring goals, why point fingers at other players' spines? Look at Ronaldo, how humble he is. After winning, he treats opponents who once humiliated him differently. But against weaker opponents, he only celebrates without insulting gestures. So, let me advise you: watch the game for the game, appreciate the skills, and don't expect certain players to demonstrate high moral standards. If there are issues with their conduct, don't be too upset, especially for players you like. Their energy is mainly focused on playing football, nothing else.
Anthony really doesn't match his position. With such a high salary, the way he celebrates victories looks somewhat distasteful. It's not like the overwhelming style of Manchester City or Arsenal. In short, don't take it too seriously, don't invest your emotions in such people, it's not worth it. Instead, go out, have some kebabs, and enjoy a beer to make yourself happier!!
