A Manchester United legend is calling for the Brazilian international to leave to make way for youth.
Antony’s popularity rating is far from having taken off since his arrival at Manchester United in the summer of 2022. His disappointing performances in the Red Devils jersey contrast with the expectations raised by the 95 million euro transfer which made Ajax Amsterdam leave. For Lee Sharpe, former glory of the club, the Brazilian striker represents a real disappointment. He invites MU leaders to take advantage of the arrival of Ruben Amorim on the Mancunian bench to turn the page on Antony.
“Antony has been very disappointing for Manchester United since day one. We saw flashes of his talent, but nothing like what he showed at Ajax. When you consider the lineup that Ruben Amorim will play, I think he will struggle to play. (…) For me, if United can get a decent price in January and get him off the wage bill, that would allow Amorim to buy another player or two who would fit the system well”said the former England midfielder.
Amad Diallo, Sharpe’s bet
The three-time English champion even already has Antony’s ideal successor in mind. He wants to bet on the young Ivorian international Amad Diallo, convinced by his performance as a right back in the 3-4-2-1 adopted by the Portuguese technician against Ipswich (1-1) on Sunday in the Premier League.
“Amad was very good against Ipswich at right-back,” Sharpe pointed out. “There were obviously a few question marks over whether he would be good enough defensively, but he is probably one of the most effective players of the four wingers Manchester United have. »
