“I’m very happy with Antony.”
“He can use his right, he has to do it more. He can also go outside.”
‘He is so good on the inside. So I’ve seen, for instance, Arjen Robben a lot. They say he has only one trick, but that one trick was so brilliant no one can stop it.”
The former Ajax winger cost a mammoth €100 million last summer, becoming United’s marquee signing.
Despite some of his inconsistencies, Antony has shown the will and determination to work hard.
He is a fighter and has confidence in his abilities.
Under Ten Hag’s tutelage, he has the potential to become one of Europe’s finest attackers.
