Just a few days ago, Manchester United [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/] star Antony slammed several team legends. The Brazilian’s comments came in the wake of a series of criticisms directed towards him for his underwhelming performances on the pitch. And now one of those legends, Paul Scholes has responded savagely while wishing Antony good luck. So far, the dynamic winger has been not able to score any goal in 10 matches in the Premier League. And now, just in a few hours, the Red Devils are set to face off against Chelsea. However, Scholes had a message for the Brazillian before the important match. PAUL SCHOLES TAKES A DIG AT ANTONY WITH A SARCASTIC MESSAGE Paul Scoles recently took to his Instagram story [https://www.instagram.com/stories/paulscholesaaa/3251821087930240127/] to share a message to Antony along with taking a humorous dig at him. The veteran midfielder shared a screenshot from an article highlighting the winger’s critique of him and other club legends. Antony had accused them [https://www.essentiallysports.com/soccer-football-news-ruining-lives-antony-calls-out-ex-manchester-united-stars-for-wrongly-critizing-him/] of providing only “malicious and unfair” criticism. Manchester United star Antony Santos [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1025229170h.jpg] The 49-year-old sarcastically wrote, “Run as fast as you can up and down, score goals and make goals pls…Good luck tonight my friend.” He went on to tag the 23-year-old and further taunt him with a kiss-blowing emoji. It is no secret that Paul Scholes has been a vocal critic of Antony’s performances in the past, even going so far as to label him a “clown” on one occasion. With this latest response, Scholes has only served to add fuel to the fire. Now let’s take a look at what Antony exactly said that provoked the Manchester United legend to respond in such a way. THE BRAZILIAN WINGER FIRES BACK AT CRITICS CITING A ‘PERIOD OF TURBULENCE’ As previously mentioned, the right winger has been struggling to find his form at Manchester United and has faced harsh criticism as a result. In a recent interview, Antony specifically called out former club players for unjustly expressing their opinions and influencing fans, even when he was not on the field. Manchester United Locker Room, Per Reports [https://www.essentiallysports.com/soccer-football-news-rasmus-hojlund-three-other-erik-ten-hag-signings-have-divided-the-manchester-united-locker-room-per-reports/] Antony further stated, “But I’ve never seen them give constructive criticism, which will help me be a better professional. None of them have ever sent me a message to see how I am feeling, especially during this period of turbulence that I am going through.” This entire exchange is no doubt disheartening for fans of the club. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

English legend Paul Scholes taunted Manchester United star Antony with a savage response after several back-and-forths with the Brazilian.

My name is Saransh Chauhan and I am an experienced soccer writer at
EssentiallySports. With over a year of experience at EssentiallySports, I have
covered various aspects of the magnificent sport. While I strive to provide
comprehensive coverage of core sports topics, I also explore off-court and
entertainment subjects. As a fan, I have always shown a liking towards players
with exceptional dribbling skills and playmaking abilities; Ozil, Xavi, Iniesta,
and Neymar, for example. And unsurprisingly, the one I admire the most is none
other than the legendary Lionel Messi. However, my expertise isn't confined to
soccer alone. Other than soccer I'm also a huge fan of the WWE and I have always
had a preference for heels over babyfaces, which is why Randy Orton and Edge are
my all-time favorites. Additionally, in my free time, I also like to enjoy
immersing myself in the captivating world of video games.

<strong><em>Manchester United</em></strong>

<strong>Brief History</strong>

Manchester United is regarded as one of the oldest football clubs in the Premier League. The team was formed in 1878, but under the name Newton Heath LYR Football Club. It was only in 1902 that it was officially named Manchester United.

The Red Devils are arguably the most successful team in the Premier League. This was even back when the League was known as the Football League.

From 1945 onward, after the second World War, it was also the beginning of one of the greatest eras of Manchester United. In other words, it was the era of the 'Busby Babes'. However, in 1958, the rampant Busby Babes were halted in their tracks, by the Munich Air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight players. However, Matt Busby managed to rebuild the team once again.

Then, from 1986 to 2013, the next great Manchester United era began. Namely, the Sir Alex Ferguson era, where the Red Devils were dominant. Although they had a sluggish start, they came into their own in the 1990s.

Currently, after going through a few managers like David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Finally, the team has settled with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
