Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has given a kuch awaited clarity on the current situation of thr troubled winger Antony, who has been having a turbulent time at the Old Traffford ever since his move from Eredevisie giants Ajax Amsterdamn in 2022. The Brazilian was also subject to a court case, in which he was a suspect for physical assault on a girl, who had later withdrawn her case back in September 2023, which led to the restoration of the winger's name in the Manchester United squad.

However, irrespective of the comments made by the Dutch manager, it seems pretty evident that the heirarchy of the Red Devils are fed up of the player because of his performances and attitude both on and off the field, and is most likely to be shipped off once a good offer comes in.

 

Antony's Career In A Nutshell

Antony made his name during his Ajax days as a brilliant right winger, with immensely impressive dribbling ability. During his two seasons at the legendary club, he managed 25 goals and 21 assists, before his blockbuster 86 millione euros move to Premier League side in August 2022.

The 24-year-old had a memorable debut for the club, with a goal against fierce rivals Arsenal, as United won the fixture 3-1. But the Brazilian fell out of favour in the months that came later as he merely managed 8 goals annd 3 assists in all competiitons.

Following a gruesome court case, the player was removed from the squad temporarily, and has managed only 1 goal and assist this season, which came in the FA Cup 2024.
