'He needs that knocking out of him': Scholes labels Antony a 'CLOWN' for showboating… with unimpressed Ten Hag hooking him off at half-time before saying sub was 'more or less' planned

Paul Scholes has torn into Manchester United's £85million star Antony after he showboated with a 720-degree spin during their 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night - labelling him 'a clown'.

Antony came under fire at Old Trafford as he found some space on the wing before performing his signature trick with the game goalless - before then carelessly putting the ball out of play after a poorly judged pass.

He was later subbed off at half time by boss Erik ten Hag - who looked far from impressed on the sidelines and shook his head before withdrawing him - and club legend Scholes warned the new signing he 'needs that knocking out of him' if he is to succeed at United.
