Ten Hag reacts to Antony's spin on the ball during Sheriff win — vows to 'correct him'

"I don't have a problem with that [trademark spin by Antony on the ball]," explained Erik ten Hag when asked about the Brazilian's failed turn.

"As long as it's functional. So, also from him, I demand more.

"More runs behind, more often in the box, more followings in, and more tempo dribbles especially. And more playing in the pocket."

Reflecting on beating Sheriff Tiraspol 3-0, the Manchester United boss continued: "So we demand more dominance in this game.

"Now and then, there is a trick like this, it's nice, as long as it's functional, as he's not losing the ball, as he's attracting players, then it's okay.

"But if it's a trick, because of a trick then I will correct him."

Antony's showboating didn't lead to much as he passed the ball back to the Sheriff goalkeeper.

The winger was substituted at half-time but fortunately, goals from Marcus Rashford, Cristiano Ronaldo and Diogo Dalot helped bag a huge win.
