This was not expected when he arrived in 2022. Recruited at the very end of the transfer window for 95 million euros, Antony was supposed to bring great things to Manchester United. By reuniting with his former coach at Ajax Amsterdam, Erik Ten Hag, the Brazilian winger was supposed to become one of the best players in the world with the Red Devils. Ultimately, nothing went as planned for the 23-year-old. Mocked on the other side of the Channel for his level or his attitudes, the Osasco native is a regular on the bench.
Even his former coach no longer trusts him and uses him very little. At the start of the season, Antony has only appeared once. Asked about the situation of the Manchester number 21, Ten Hag explained to the microphone of Manchester Evening News that his winger would have to show more to play more: “when players do the right things in training, when the attitude is right and they show performance in training, then they will earn the right to play.“The message got through.
