Noel Gallagher says Antony is a 'moron', 'annoying' Bruno Fernandes isn't 'even that good' and Manch

Noel Gallagher took shots at Manchester United duo Antony and Bruno Fernandes as he revelled in Manchester City's easy win at Old Trafford.

He also says that the Red Devils are verging on becoming a mid-table team following their defeat to rivals Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side emerged 3-0 victors at Old Trafford, with Erik ten Hag's strugglers not even close to matching their quality.

The power shift in Manchester has been apparent in recent seasons, with the latest derby being City's fifth from the last six.

City fan Gallagher has been revelling in the club's success and was not shy to take a pop at their rivals after their dismal performance.

When asked on talkSPORT Drive how far behind United are to City, he said: "I don't think City are getting any better, I think United are, if they're not treading water, then on yesterday's performance...

"I've never rated the manager [Erik ten Hag], he just doesn't look like he could inspire a dressing room to me anyway. Then you get Antony coming on yesterday and behaving like an absolute moron.

"Your captain Bruno, how he's not getting booked every game for dissent by the referee is beyond me because he's forever in the referee's ear, he challenges every single decision, it's so annoying, and he's not even that good.

"I wouldn't say they're at rock bottom because they're still way high up the table but they're approaching a mid-table team and long may it continue."

Antony was an 86th minute substitute for United and tried to hack down Jeremy Doku in an unsavoury challenge in the latter stages.

He then lashed out at the City man, who put up a finger as if to tell him off, and was subsequently booked by referee Paul Tierney.

Following the match, former United captain Roy Keane revealed his belief that Fernandes should be stripped of the club armband.

The Portuguese international's credentials as skipper have been questioned since he took over the role from Harry Maguire in July.
