"Antony cannot do that as a Man Utd player, he has to behave himself"

Manchester United striker Antony had conflicts in Friday's match against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. The Brazilian received a yellow card after a hard tackle on Mac Allister.

The 23-year-old had an aggressive argument with Dunk and Estupinan on the field and the referee booked him. The United striker reacted in this way because a hard tackle by Estupinan was not considered a foul. But his behaviour did not please several people.

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel spoke about the Brazil international's conduct in Premier League Productions.

"We had the incident with Antony where he went absolutely berserk and got a yellow card when he stood up to Lewis Dunk. That was a clear foul on him, and it wasn't given because it was the line we were playing to today, and that's fair enough," he said.

"But I don't like the reaction, this is crazy and he is a lucky, lucky boy staying on the pitch because that’s a red card, there's no doubt about it. You cannot do that as a Man Utd player, you have to behave yourself. This is revenge, you don't do that, you cannot do that in a game of football," Schmeichel added.
