– You mentioned Ajax and I also remember: their effectiveness, their final product was greater and also very high in the Champions League. He is capable of making crucial decisions, passes, crosses, finishing. He must return to that level, but the Premier League is more difficult and he is capable of that. It definitely had an impact on him, so he needs to deal with it. He provoked, so he has to solve it, but he needs to be better – declared Ten Hag at a press conference this Friday, two days before Manchester United face Tottenham, in the Premier League, at Old Trafford.

Antony has 21 games for Manchester United in the 2023/24 season. He is zero in both goals and assists. In 2022/23, he had eight goals and three assists in 44 matches.

Antony was reinstated by Manchester United in September after spending three weeks on the sidelines following assault allegations. The player has declared his innocence in the case.

The Brazilian is a trusted figure for coach Erik ten Hag, with whom he worked together at Ajax in the two seasons he played for the Dutch club, in 2020/21 and 2021/22. They won the Dutch Championship in both editions together and also a Dutch Cup. The Brazilian went to Manchester United in 2022 weeks after the coach was hired by the Red Devils.
