Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has defended Antony’s goading of Coventry City players following their penalty shootout victory at Wembley. Ten Hag claims that Antony was ‘provoked’ during the match and that his reaction was a result of that provocation. Antony’s actions have been widely criticized, but Ten Hag believes that the provocation, which he did not specify, should be taken into account. Ten Hag also acknowledged that Antony’s reaction was inappropriate, stating that he ‘should not do it.’ Manchester United will face Sheffield United in the Premier League on Wednesday, but they may be without several key players due to injuries sustained in the Coventry match.
