Amid rumors of possible departures, Manchester United, led by Erik ten Hag, have made it clear that they have no intention of parting ways with Antony, the 23-year-old Brazilian winger. Despite speculation linking the player with a possible transfer, Football Insider’s report shows that ten Hag has full confidence in Antony’s potential and plans to give him a crucial role in the first team in the coming months.
Antony, who moved from Ajax to Manchester United in a big move in the summer of 2022, struggled to live up to expectations in his first season. Despite taking part in 44 games and contributing 11 goals, the Brazilian failed to shine in the expected manner. The current season wasn’t easy either, with only 12 appearances and no contributions in the form of goals or assists.
Manchester United’s plan with Antony
Despite his recent form, coach Erik ten Hag, a big admirer of Antony since his time at Ajax, remains confident in the young Brazilian talent. Ten Hag believes Antony has the potential to become a Premier League star and is ready to offer him a more prominent role in the team. The Brazilian is expected to be a key part of Manchester United’s lineup in the coming weeks, with the opportunity to increase his presence on the pitch.
Although Antony’s poor form has led to speculation about his departure during the winter transfer window, Manchester United appear determined to support the 23-year-old winger’s development. Erik ten Hag is confident that Antony can turn things around and make a significant contribution to the team. Having started 50% of games so far, all indications are that the Brazilian will be an important asset for Manchester United in the challenges ahead of the season.
