The Brazilian’s comments came in the wake of a series of criticisms directed towards him for his underwhelming performances on the pitch. And now one of those legends, Paul Scholes has responded savagely while wishing Antony good luck.

So far, the dynamic winger has been not able to score any goal in 10 matches in the Premier League. And now, just in a few hours, the Red Devils are set to face off against Chelsea. However, Scholes had a message for the Brazillian before the important match.

Antony further stated, “But I’ve never seen them give constructive criticism, which will help me be a better professional. None of them have ever sent me a message to see how I am feeling, especially during this period of turbulence that I am going through.” This entire exchange is no doubt disheartening for fans of the club.
