Manchester United midfielder Fred has hit back at Red Devils legend Paul Scholes, who labelled Antony a clown for 'showboating' this week.
Antony was the subject of some heavy criticism from the former England midfielder following a piece of skill in the first half of the team's 3-0 win over Sheriff.
Man Utd's Antony Hits Back At Showboating Criticism
The Brazilian attacker ended up giving the ball away after the skill, with Scholes claiming it was unnecessary however Fred was not too happy with those comments.
"It's very annoying that they want to say that," Fred told ESPN.
"I think it starts with us being Brazilians. Brazilians have quality in their blood. It's always been that way since Pele, to have quality, to dribble, to score, to dance, to smile.
"So I think people have to understand this aspect that we have. So it wasn't offensive to anyone what he did.
"Of course, if it's offensive, we'll come to him in the dressing room and talk. But it was not offensive to anyone. It's his game. I think he has to keep doing it."
