Manchester United winger Antony has made a bizarre claim regarding his performances this season.
Manchester United’s ambitious £86 million signing of Brazilian winger Antony from Ajax was met with high expectations. However, the reality has been far from the envisioned success story, especially as he enters his second season at Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old’s lackluster performance in the 2023/24 Premier League campaign paints a grim picture. Despite featuring in 25 matches, Antony is yet to find the back of the net, leaving fans and management alike frustrated. With just one assist to his name, which came in a defeat against Chelsea, his contribution to the team’s attack has been minimal at best.
Antony’s struggles extend beyond the Premier League. In both the Champions League and Carabao Cup, he has failed to register a goal or an assist across five appearances, further highlighting his inability to make an impact in crucial matches. The FA Cup has provided a glimmer of hope, with two goals and an assist, albeit against lower-tier opposition, including a notable performance against Newport County.
Manchester United winger Antony on his form
Despite his underwhelming statistics, Antony remains defiant, expressing satisfaction with his form and performances. However, his words ring hollow in the face of mounting pressure and criticism from fans and pundits alike.
“I’m really happy with my form. I’ve worked very hard every day towards this”, he stated on MUTV.
“I’ve been working hard in training for months now, so I’m very pleased with my performances and I hope to improve with every game.”
With Manchester United reportedly considering a sale this summer, his future hangs in the balance. Will he rise to the challenge and fulfill his potential, or will he become yet another expensive mistake in the recent history of the football club?
