The 22-second video quickly went viral, with social media users praising her skills and some even suggesting that she outshines Manchester United's Brazilian winger Antony and former Chelsea star Mason Mount.

Meanwhile, both Mount and Antony were on duty for the Red Devils as they staged a dramatic comeback to beat RC Lens in a pre-season friendly staged at Old Trafford, Sky Sports reports.

Here is the video:

Antony shines in comeback win

In rather competitive news, Antony helped Manchester United score three goals in 10 minutes against RC Lens to turn the game around as Erik Ten Hag’s side bounced back to winning ways in pre-season, Sports Brief reported.

United went into the game on Saturday, August 5, at the back of three straight defeats, and despite the ‘friendly’ nature of the games, there was some pressure on the Red Devils to put up a performance.

Despite going down by a freak goal, United rallied back through talisman Marcus Rashford, Antony and Casemiro to secure a well-deserved 3-1 win over the French Ligue 1 side.
