Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand said: "Antony... what can I say: embarrassing! It's just understanding the environment, understanding where you are. It's Coventry City.
"Yeah, cupping your ears, I get that to a big team or when it has been a really feisty game where you've been involved in all the feisty moments. I get that. But it wasn't even that.
"I just feel we've got a team that a lot of the time don't understand where we're at and can't manage any situation in a game. We've all been there, let leads slip, but you need some sort of management."
Manchester United beat Coventry on penalties on Sunday to secure a place in the FA Cup final after blowing a 3–0 lead against the Championship side.
After the shoot-out, Antony taunted the opposition players by cupping his ears towards them, leading to massive criticism even from Old Trafford fans.
