Manchester United winger Antony has been heavily criticized by Clinton Morrison after appearing to taunt Coventry supporters.
United won on penalties to reach the FA Cup final after a remarkable draw against Championship side Coventry at Wembley.
Although United took a three-goal lead, Coventry managed to equalize at 3-3 to send the match into extra time, with penalties eventually following.
After Rasmus Hojlund sent the decisive spot-kick for United, Antony was seen craning his ears towards the Coventry fans.
Morrison, who played for Coventry between 2008 and 2010, heavily criticized Antony for his actions.

Morrison told Antony to focus on himself after his actions against Coventry
In a savage blow, Morrison said Antony should “focus on himself” and warned he could be playing in the Championship next season.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Clinton Morrison said: “He needs to focus on himself because he could be playing in the Championship next season…”
Antony has fallen on hard times since joining United for £85.5m in 2022 and has scored just ten goals in 77 appearances for the club, while he has failed to find his way to the nets in the Premier League this season.
He did, however, play an important role in United’s FA Cup run, scoring against Newport County and Liverpool. Antony was substituted against Coventry, replacing Alejandro Garnacho in the 66th minute.
United looked to qualify in normal time after goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes.
However, Coventry responded via Ellis Simms, Callum O’Hare and a late penalty from Haji Wright to send the match into extra time.
Victor Torp thought he had given Coventry the lead in extra time, but his goal was ruled out for offside by VAR.
United then prevailed in the shootout, with Hojlund scoring after Ben Sheaf missed Coventry.
