Pundit and former Manchester City star, Micah Richards has chastised Red Devil’s winger, Antony for doing a poor job during Manchester United’s 7-0 humiliating defeat to Liverpool.
A goal from Roberto Firmino and a brace each from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah gave the Reds all three points against Erik ten Hag’s side at Anfield.
Reviewing the match after the annihilation of Man United by the Reds, Micah Richards told Match of the Day 2 that Antony did not do his job during the encounter.

He also criticised his positioning throughout the match, saying he left him confused because he was unable to tell if he was just being lazy or told by Ten Hag to stay up front permanently for counterattacks.
He said: “There was no communication between Dalot and Antony.
“At times, it was like they were playing with ten men because Antony wasn’t doing his work at all down that side.
“I don’t know if it was tactical, Antony’s positioning… I was confused at what he was doing.
“I don’t know if it was him being lazy or the manager told him to stay up for counter-attacks.
“If I am Dalot, I would be screaming at [Antony] to come and help me.”
