The Brazilian performed a 360-degree turn but then failed to play a successful pass, consequently handing the Moldovan side a goal kick during the first-half.Scholes was not amused by the young Brazilian's antics as he told BT Sport (via Mirror):&quot;What's he thinking? He's not beaten a man, he's not entertaining anybody. It's 0-0 and then he kicks the ball out. But that's the way he plays. I've seen him do it many times with Ajax. I think he needs that knocking out of him.&quot;Antony joined Manchester United from Ajax this summer for €100 million. He has scored three goals in 11 games across competitions so far.
