Harry Maguire's post-match behaviour after Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out win over Coventry City makes Antony's conduct look eve more shameless.

United set up a second consecutive FA Cup final against rivals City at Wembley but it was anything but convincing.

Erik ten Hag's side surrendered a 3-0 lead to the Championship outfit, who equalised in stoppage time with a Haji Wright penalty.

Mark Robins' side looked to have completed the comeback of all comebacks in the last minute of extra time when Victor Torp sent one half of Wembley into pandemonium - only for the goal to be chalked off for offside.

United, despite missing the first spot-kick, prevailed 4-2 on penalties - with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the winner.

Hojlund ran to the fans before toning down his celebrations when he noticed that none of his teammates had joined him.

But winger Antony was slammed online for his embarrassing antics. In a video shared, the Brazilian was seen cupping his ears to the Coventry players and fans, an action that saw him get panned on social media.

He was quite rightly criticised for a bizarre response but on the flipside, Maguire showed his class at the final whistle.

The England defender immediately went over to the Coventry players to shake their hands after a sensational FA Cup run.


Say what you want about Maguire, but he’s a great lad for immediately going to shake hands after.

Maguire, who was on the scoresheet at Wembley, received praise for his gesture.

One said: "Pure class from Maguire."

A second commented: "Maguire really was the perfect captain if we're being very honest."

A third added: "Say what you want about Maguire but this is incredibly classy."

Another praised: "Harry Maguire walks and shake hands with Coventry players after the shootouts. Antony cups his ear shamelessly to them. Different in class and mentality."

After the game Maguire revealed that he had played through injury in the semi-final, telling MUTV: “I always put the club first. I haven’t really trained this week.”
