  • Two football fans were recently left with a bitter taste in their mouths after Manchester United's forward Antony rejected their request to have a photo
  • The fans were visibly unhappy after they ran into the former Ajax winger at a shopping mall
  • Antony has lit up the Manchester United fanbase with electrifying performances since arriving at Old Trafford in a big-money move

Antony is probably the darling of every Manchester United fan right now. The winger arrived with a lot of promise from Ajax and has since repaid the faith entrusted in him by United boss Erik ten Hag.

He scored in his first three successive Premier League games, endearing him to fans, but two fans would probably be having different thoughts about him after he turned down a photo request.

It is not clear when the video was taken, but Antony was in action for Manchester United on Saturday, October 22, at Stamford Bridge, where he lasted the entire 90 minutes.

He helped his side battle out to a one-all draw against Chelsea, where he also made a couple of headlines.

Antony embarrassed Ben Chilwell with silky nutmeg

Sports Brief had reported that Antony is quickly building a reputation for himself as one of the most skillful players in the world.

His mazy runs and quick feet often leave defenders for dead. He arrived at Manchester United from Ajax in a big-money move and so far, so good; he is matching his hefty price tag.

Against Chelsea on October 22, Antony came up against Ben Chilwell in his preferred wing.

He had two half chances in the first half, with one requiring a save from Kepa Arrizabalaga and the other going just outside the right post, but it was his nutmeg that got fans talking.
