Neal Maupay has responded to Man Utd star Antony, following his celebrations in the FA Cup semi-final which saw Coventry lose on penalties.

Despite securing their place in consecutive FA Cup finals, it was an afternoon to forget for Erik ten Hag's men who blew a 3-0 lead to the Championship side in the final 20 minutes.

United were millimeters away from total disaster as Coventry thought they'd won it in the final seconds of extra-time, however, their 120th-minute winner was deemed offside following a VAR review.

The game was ultimately decided on penalties, with United's experience paying dividends as it was more Wembley heartbreak for Coventry.

As soon as Hojlund's winning penalty found the back of the net, most of United's players displayed sportsmanship by quickly offering consolation to their disheartened opponents.

However, Antony's behavior differed. Despite the performance, the Brazilian chose to taunt the Coventry fans and players after his team narrowly escaped a humiliating defeat.

The £86m man cupped his ears as he ran off to celebrate with Hojlund, while the rest of his teammates remained composed.

Journalist Sean Walsh described Antony's actions as "One of the most shameless acts I've ever seen."

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Clinton Morrison said: "He [Antony] needs to concentrate on himself because he could be playing the Championship next season..."

Antony's antics have been so badly received that even the Premier League's biggest sh*thouse has had to speak out against the winger.

Neal Maupay shared the footage of Antony via X, and added the comment: "Just for the record, not even I would do this."

Maupay is well-known for testing the patience of his opponents, with his darts celebration earlier in the season getting to James Maddison who came for the Frenchman on social media following the game.

The Brentford striker has shown throughout his Premier League career that pretty much anything goes, so for Antony to receive backlash from Maupay speaks volumes of the situation United were in.
