Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot has rejected criticism of Antony's showboating.

Asked about Antony's actions during the Europa League defeat of FC Sheriff, Dalot defended his team-mate.

"He wants to entertain a little bit. His game," he said, "I think it's part of the way that he plays. And for me, he gets a little bit more time when he gets the ball and for me to try to open spaces with runs, but I mean we're happy to have Antony with us and he's a fantastic player.

"His technique and his dribbling will help us. I mean, there's always going to be chatter after a mistake, he missed the pass, but if the pass went to Casemiro then he was in a good position to assist or score a goal so I just think it's normal after he missed a pass.

"I don't think we should focus too much on what he did, it's just part of his game and we're happy to have a player like him."
