Agbonlahor has been vocal in his criticism of Antony, where he named him in his 'Flop XI' of the 2022/23 season.
He has previously branded the ex-Ajax star as 'embarrassing' and a 'bluffer' following his slow start to life at Old Trafford.

"Some of the defending, we don't get tight to people, it's passive defending, the high line, we're the most easiest team to get through and get chances on goal.
"It's so frustrating to watch, they've been outstanding under Unai Emery, but defensively, [Ezri] Konsa is out injured, Pau Torres might be back.
"But if we had that defence we had last night, I think [Marcus] Rashford, [Alejandro] Garnacho, [Rasmus] Hojlund, they'll run us ragged."
