Manchester United’s Antony has come under fire from Brentford striker Neal Maupay for his ‘classless’ celebrations during their FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry on Saturday. Despite taking a 3-0 lead, United were pegged back and forced into a penalty shootout, which they eventually won 4-2. Antony’s behavior, which included cupping his ears at Coventry players, has drawn criticism from Maupay, who is known for his own controversial antics on the pitch.
Chelsea fans have expressed outrage after discovering that in-form forward Cole Palmer earns significantly less than defender Malang Sarr, who has made far fewer appearances for the club. Palmer, who has been one of the standout players in the Premier League season, currently earns £80,000-a-week, while Sarr, who has played just 21 games since joining Chelsea in 2021, earns £120,000-a-week. Fans have questioned the logic behind this salary discrepancy, with some suggesting that Palmer should ‘swap salaries’ with Raheem Sterling, who has had a less impressive campaign but earns considerably more than the 21-year-old. Despite his current salary, reports indicate that Palmer is in line for a major wage boost due to his impressive performances this season.
