Man Utd fans still can’t believe ‘greedy’ Antony didn’t pass with THREE players free to tap it in
MANCHESTER UNITED fans were in shock as “greedy” Antony fluffed a golden chance for a goal against Real Betis.
The Brazilian winger was clean through in the Europa League clash with THREE team-mates waiting for tap-in.
Antony instead opted for a shot – which he skied over the bar – leaving Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst and Fred waiting.
The £85.5million man had already scored one goal in the game, which United were leading 3-1 at the time.
But fans were not happy with the “selfish” star.
One tweeted: “How am I gonna tell my kids Antony didn’t pass here.”
A second commented: “Ah! Ah! Ah! I mean how?”
Another said: “Impossible to shoot! Three players right? How many times did you see it?”
Another wrote: “Antony is so greedy that’s an easy goal if u pass to your team-mate there.”
While one simply added: “Antony too selfish.”

Luckily for the 23-year-old, Weghorst went on to score in the 82 minute as United were able to win the game by a three-goal margin.
The goal meant a lot to the Dutch forward after he suffered a backlash from the club’s supporters for touching the ‘This is Anfield’ before Sunday’s 7-0 loss to Liverpool.
The Red Devils will take their advantage to Spain for the away leg of the round of 16 tie next Thursday.
The goal that Antony did score was his second in the competition this season, he trails Rashford as the tournament’s top scorer by three goals.
