• Manchester United summer signing Antony has pledged to continue with his skills to please football fans
• Antony's entrenched position of entertaining the crowd with his tricks comes in the wake of criticisms from football pundits particularly Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher

Antony has pledged to continue entertaining football fans, particularly Manchester United supporters with his bag of flicks and tricks.

The 22-year-old Brazil winger, who completed a protracted switch to Man United this summer, is renowned for his truckload of skills - which can be amusing and annoying in equal measure.

The former Ajax forward began his United career on a positive note, scoring the opening goal as Erik ten Hag's charges brought Arsenal's winning run to a crashing end last weekend.

Aside from his goal contribution, Antony was captured performing an outlandish skill when he lifted his leg up and twirled it around before playing the ball back in a bid to confuse his marker.

He came under scrutiny from pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher for his 'unnecessary' showboating but Antony has promised not to end his showboating.

"I've always done this," he told the Manchester United website, in reference to his skills and tricks. "Not just here but for all the teams I've played for.

"I've been doing it ever since I was a child. I've always done it - it's one of my characteristics.

"I am adapting and getting used to things here already. Entertaining is something I've always liked and I'll continue doing it."
