Van der Vaart blasts Antony after Man Utd derby defeat

Former Holland star Rafael van der Vaart has slammed Antony after Manchester United's 6-3 humiliation at Manchester City.

The winger scored his second goal in as many Premier League outings for United. But his second half stunner wasn't able to prevent his side from slipping to an embarrassing defeat.

Van der Vaart was far from impressed with his contribution prior to his goal.

He told Dutch radio: "Have you seen Antony play today? He scored a world-class goal.

"But with every pass he received he kept holding the ball underneath his feet while being 4-0 down. That would annoy the hell out of me."
