FORMER Tottenham man Rafael van der Vaart has slammed Antony's performance in the Manchester derby on Sunday.
The winger scored his second goal in as many Premier League outings for Manchester United.
But his second half stunner wasn't able to prevent his side from slipping to an embarrassing 6-3 defeat to their noisy neighbors.
By the time Antony beat Ederson from distance, United were already 4-0 down following a disastrous first 45 minutes.
Phil Foden and Erling Haaland helped themselves to braces as City ran riot during a blistering first half display from Pep Guardiola's men.
Antony's goal did offer United hope, but Foden and Haaland both completed their hat-tricks soon after to end the possibility of a shock comeback.

Marcus Rashford was hooked just before the hour mark, while Jadon Sancho was replaced by Fred 11 minutes later.
