Manchester United fans genuinely can't believe what Gary Neville said about Antony during commentary.
Antony has endured another frustrating outing so far against Nottingham Forest as he's yet to make an impression on the right wing.
And as the first half came to a close, Neville advised the Brazilian winger to 'simplify' his game as he compared him to a Premier League legend.

"Antony has to develop a pattern in his game so his teammates can know what to expect," he said on Sky Sports. "He has to create parts of his game that are consistent."
The former Manchester United captain continued to dissect Antony's game as he referenced ex-Leicester City and Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez.
"Antony can become a Riyad Mahrez type of player," he added on commentary.

A fourth said: "Did Gary Neville really just say that Antony could become a Riyad Mahrez type player."
A fifth commented: "Gary Neville just said Antony could become a Mahrez type player. Sky Sports have to sack him at half time."
Another wrote: "Gary Neville saying 'Antony is never going to become one of the best players in the world but could become a Riyadh Mahrez type playe' is so disrespectful to Mahrez."

Antony, who cost Man United £85 million, has been unable to justify his hefty price tag since arriving at Old Trafford.
He's managed just eight goals in 64 games in all competitions and has yet to score this campaign.
