Manchester United were trailing by one goal at Old Trafford when Erik Ten Hag put on Antony to replace Amad Diallo. Instead of giving a morale boost for his team on the pitch, the Brazilian ended up being an internet joke following his facial expression.
Before really getting on the pitch, Antony put on what was supposed to be a furious face. Initially, some notable media outlets including ESPN, posted on their official X account about Antony’s prep.
Twitter reactions as Antony makes hilarious face
ESPN hyped up the mood by putting a devil emoji at the end of the tweet, which said: “The look on Antony’s face as he came off the bench for Manchester United (devil emoji).”
However, Twitter reacted differently to his antic behaviour, leading to memes and funny comments about him flooding the timeline. Most of the comments were undermining Antony’s capability to change the game into United’s favour.
The Brazilian was indeed criticised due to his inconsistent form and not being there when his team needed him the most. This season, which is his second with United since moving from Ajax, Antony has seen a downfall in terms of scoring.
During his first season, he managed to score four goals in 25 league games. Up until the Arsenal game, he only netted one despite playing more matches (29) than last season. Here are some hilarious comments and reactions regarding Antony’s face in the game against Arsenal:
