Manchester United attacker Antony has been labelled a one-trick pony by a Red Devils legend after the side's UEFA Europa League this week.

The Manchester outfit returned to winning ways with a 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia on Thursday evening.

The Brazilian attacker started for the Red Devils but was taken off after 53 minutes with the score at 1-1, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial rescuing the win.

Scholes has not been impressed with the 22-year-old this season since his big-money move from Ajax Amsterdam.

"He was right about the wingers being static. Sancho never really runs in behind. he needs a fast left-back if he's playing on the left, he needs a striker to link with, they haven't really got that at the moment," Scholes told BT Sport.

"Antony on the other side as well, he doesn't run in behind. He seems to be a bit of a one-trick pony. He's always cutting inside and either passing back to the full-back or having a shot. 

"You're thinking he needs to develop a little bit. It's still early days for him, we know that."
