ANTONY was carried off on a stretcher in tears after being caught in a tackle by Trevoh Chalobah.
The Man United winger was in full flow during one of his dizzying runs when he clashed with the Chelsea defender at Old Trafford.
The tackle was not deemed a foul by the ref but Antony lay on the ground in clear distress.
After a few minutes of treatment on the pitch, the Brazilian was carried off by medical staff and replaced by Marcus Rashford.
He held his hands over his face while being carried off.
United’s problems would get worse at half-time when Luke Shaw also went off with an injury.
