Speaking on his YouTube podcast, Rio Ferdinand said: "You'd like to see Antony doing it [taunting Coventry players] and his teammates telling him straightaway: 'Oi, you don't do that... that doesn't happen. We're lucky to be going through, it's an embarrassment we're still on this pitch'.
"It's hard in the heat of it. Your timing has got to be perfect for it all to align like that. I would be devastated, I would be embarrassed now if there hasn't been a conversation from one of the senior players.
"Like Marcus Rashford who understands Manchester United, grew up there. Or Bruno Fernandes, who is wearing the armband. Harry Maguire has huge experience. Luke Shaw who is watching on. If one of those guys hasn't got hold of Antony and gone, 'Listen, that don't happen here, man'.
Antony caused another round of controversy after cupping his ears towards Coventry players following Man United's win on penalties on Sunday.
Since it was a game where the Red Devils actually blew a 3–0 lead against a Championship side, there was little cause to celebrate at full-time.
