Ten Hag cites off Antony's off-field issues as the reason for Antony’s poor performance at Manchester United
In a candid assessment of the challenges facing Manchester United winger Antony this season, manager Erik ten Hag has pointed to off-field allegations as the reason behind the player's poor form.
Antony shines for Man United
In a thrilling six-goal encounter where Newport made a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to level the score at 2-2, Antony seized an opportunity after a curling shot from left-back Luke Shaw came off the post.
The Brazilian forward was in the right place at the right time, tapping home the rebound with his right foot in the 68th minute, marking his first goal since the 16th of April 2023, a run of 30 games.

The timely strike proved pivotal as it restored the lead for a disappointing Manchester United, who went on to secure a 4-2 victory thanks to a hustler’s strike from a frustrated Rasmus Hojlund in added time.
Antony's performance not only contributed to the win but also served as a beacon of hope for the player as he aims to justify his significant price tag under the management of Erik ten Hag.
The Brazilian forward, who is now off the mark for the current season, will undoubtedly be eager to build on this breakthrough and continue making a significant impact on the team.
