The Manchester United star's celebratory post on Instagram featuring his duel against Alex Iwobi has been met with criticism on social media.
Manchester United left back Tyrell Malacia has triggered reactions over his celebratory post on Instagram following his team’s win against Everton in the Emirates FA Cup third round.
United got the better of the Toffees after Antony opened the scoring as early as the 4th minute to give the Red Devils the 1-0 lead.
However, the visitors soon roared back into the game after Conor Coady fired home 10 minutes later.

But United would eventually have the last laugh courtesy of a second half own goal from Coady in the second half, before Marcus Rashford put the game beyond doubt in added time of stoppage time via a well-taken penalty.
The defeat now meant Frank Lampard's men had picked up just one win in their last five games in all competitions.

The former Feyenoord star posted a photo celebrating a team goal with Marcus Rashford as well as a photo showing himself contesting for the ball with Everton and Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi.
Iwobi would eventually be forced off the pitch after a nasty tackle from the United defender early in the second half.
The Super Eagles star has had a decent season by his standards so far for the Toffees, but is now reportedly set for a two-week spell on the sidelines.
Even though the post was liked by his teammates and Manchester United supporters, some other have hit out at the United defender under the comments section of the post.
One user wrote: 'Bro destroyed his leg and posted it on insta'
Another user wrote: 'Man sent iwobi to the hospital and showing proof of great performance'
While another user wrote: 'Can't believe you posted a picture that sent another player to the hospital. That is very despicable. You'll surely get yours too and it'll be posted.'
Another user also wrote: 'That's humiliating, where is the sportsmanship? You sent someone out prolly for the rest of the season and still post his photo without a lovely words to support him'.
While another one wrote: 'Second slide not necessary. Please sent him a quick recovery message… we are humans'
