Manchester United is a club that in recent years has entered a spiral of poor results that has led to an unprecedented crisis for a team of this magnitude.
A combination of desperation and fear of losing its status has led the club to make bad signings and make bad financial decisions, which have led the English team to make risky bets such as that of Antony, a Brazilian footballer signed for 95 million euros in 2022.

Antony tattooed himself and generated criticism and ridicule on social networks
Since his arrival, Antony has been widely criticized for his poor adaptation to English football, and he was also a protégé of Erik ten Hag, a coach who asked him to join Ajax for Manchester United due to his good performance, a club where they met.
With Manchester United, Antony has barely managed to score 11 goals in 82 games played, giving a very poor performance to be nothing more and nothing less than the third most expensive Brazilian in history, only behind Neymar and Coutinho.
This has made him the target of constant criticism and ridicule on social networks and, due to his attitudes and eccentricities, Manchester United fans have not missed his last gesture when he came on as a substitute in a match against Arsenal, to make fun of the Brazilian.

As if that were not enough, with a post on his social networks, Antony showed off his new tattoo. In it, Antony himself appears shirtless celebrating a goal for Ajax. In the background, houses from the Favelas of Brazil appear, emphasizing and never forgetting their most humble origin.

This tattoo has been widely criticized for demonstrating the more egotistical side of him when tattooing himself, generating a debate on networks: Confidence, ego or bragging? What does Antony show with this new tattoo?
This practice is not uncommon among Brazilian footballers, as Richarlison tattooed himself, Ronaldo Nazário and Neymar Jr. on his back.
