'He's a bit of an IDIOT': Gabby Agbonlahor slams Antony for his on-pitch antics in defeat at Brighton... as he urges Man United boss Erik ten Hag to 'calm him down' to help the winger live up to his £86m price tag

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor labelled Manchester United's summer signing Antony a 'bit of an idiot' after the winger narrowly avoided being sent off for 'lashing out' at Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister during the two teams' Premier League clash on Thursday.

The £85million forward, who manager Erik ten Hag snaffled from his former club Ajax during last summer's transfer window, narrowly avoided picking up a red card after kicking out at the World Cup winner with twenty minutes left to play.

Whilst Mac Allister lay on the ground in visible pain, his team-mate Lewis Dunk became embroiled in a spat with the Brazil international that saw him booked by referee Andre Marriner too.
