Exclusive: Antony misses coach back to Man United team hotel
Brazilian winger Antony missed the coach back to Manchester Unitedโs team hotel following their 3-1 victory over relegation rivals Southampton.
The ยฃ82m signing from Ajax was spotted outside Old Trafford clasping his head in disbelief shortly after the coach had departed.
CCTV replays showed the 24-year-old chasing after the coach as it exited the stadium car park, much to the amusement of his United teammates who were making rude hand gestures and banging the rear window of the vehicle.
United sources claim Antony then tried to take a train back to the hotel but fell asleep and missed his stop.
โItโs a shocking missโ, a United car park attendant told Paddy Power News.
โHeโs made a late run into the car parking area, but heโs failed to make the connection. Heโll be disappointed with himself when he sees the replayโ, sighed the attendant while watching the CCTV footage.
The former Sรฃo Paulo starlet took to social media this morning to apologise to his manager and teammates for the awful miss.
โI was in the changing room practicing my tiger claw pose in front of the mirror and Iโve lost track of timeโ, the United flop wrote on Instagram.

โItโs just another case of a grown man making silly hand gestures gone wrong. These things happen in football but mainly when posing for photos with rappers and boxers. We move on.
โIโve apologised to the lads and told them thatโs my last miss of the season. They didnโt seem convinced. Iโll come back stronger from thisโ.
Meanwhile, United have announced theyโll be releasing a new documentary to commemorate last nightโs relegation six-pointer victory over Southampton.
Ruben Amorimโs side kept their Premier League survival hopes alive with a thrilling late win courtesy of an Amad hattrick which fans are describing as the greatest night in the clubโs history.
โUnited: Class of 2025โ will be available to stream on Amazon next month.
