Man Utd star Antony in motorway crash as he smashes into roadworks in wet weather
MAN United star Antony has told of his terror after crashing his BMW sports car on a motorway on New Year’s Eve.
The Brazilian wrecked his X6 in roadworks after playing in a 1-0 win at Wolves.
Cops were called to the scene on the M56 near his home in Hale, Gtr Manchester, and breathalysed the £80million winger.
He passed and his £100,000 car was recovered.
But Antony, 22, was left shaken by the incident.
Manager Erik ten Hag opted to leave him out of the squad for Tuesday’s 3-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth.

He returned to open the scoring in Friday’s 3-1 FA Cup win against Everton — after being seen at the wheel of a £300,000 Lamborghini Aventador.
But he said of the crash in a post-match interview: “I had a shock.”
A source said: “It was dark and wet and he made an error of judgement.
“He was shook up but thankfully no one else was involved and he wasn’t injured.”
