The Manchester United forward performed his signature 'Antourny' during his side's clash against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.

The Brazilian received the ball in the first half and, with acres of space ahead of him, decided to do the skill twice. He then passed the ball right out of play, sparking lots of criticisms from retired footballers led by Paul Scholes.
