Antony will no longer be a concern of Man.United?

The more Antony indulged in a fancy way of playing football, the less effective it became.

When buying Antony With a price of 100 million euros, Man.United owners also consider a lot for a player who has only scored 25 goals in his career. But at that time, this was the request of coach Ten Hag, who needed support. So the Brazilian striker became the second most expensive signing in Old Trafford’s history after Paul Pogba.

Antony made an immediate impact at Old Trafford. He scored on his debut, scoring in Man.United’s 3-1 win over Arsenal in early September, and then scoring goals against Man.City and Everton. Until then, although Antony’s fee is not cheap, at least he has shown himself to be worthy. However, since the 2-1 win over Everton in early October, the 22-year-old has become increasingly out of place in Man.United’s attack, especially when Rashford is playing great again to shoulder the task of scoring goals. for the whole team.

Ten Hag shows that he still persists with Antony. And quite lucky for him, when Man.United is not too dependent on his left foot “one raft” and his goals. Rashford has scored 20 goals, just two short of his best in a season. Eriksen has seven assists in the league, second only to Kevin De Bruyne, and Bruno Fernandes is the one putting it all together.

Coach Ten Hag has not seen the best Antony to help the Reds increase their attacking capacity.

Now the money spent on Antony is mentioned again. Last season Ajax dominated the Dutch championship with 98 goals, but Antony had only four assists and made 1.9 key-passes every 90 minutes. That trend is continuing today. Antony created only 8 chances to score for Man.United. Compare the numbers of Fred (15), Luke Shaw (17), Casemiro (19) and Diogo Dalot (22).

Well, don’t help your teammates, you should help yourself. In fact, the path to Antony’s goal is usually to receive the ball on the right flank, cut in and shoot with his left foot. It is an one-way street”. His last 19 goals were all scored with his left foot, but this so-called “super move” did not help Antony at Man.United. He has taken 33 shots in the Premier League, the ball has been on target 14 times and only 3 goals (9% rate). Only kicked “one bet” but Antony completed only 10 of 31 dribbles, the success rate was 32%. Just like him, but with Arjen Robben, even if the defender knows it, there is nothing he can do. Robben’s dribbling and kicking reached a level that was usually superfluous.

After Eriksen suffered a long-term injury, coach Ten Hag needed the best Antony to maintain his attacking ability, but it seems that the Dutch military leader is trying to help Antony. Ten Hag will be hoping the return of Sancho and loan signing Sabitzer will provide the medicine needed to get Antony back to his prime. And in the unlikely event, when Casemiro returned from suspension, it was Sabitzer who took Antony’s place. In the draw with Leeds, the Austrian midfielder did not appear to be suitable for a central role. Sabitzer had 3 shots but no successful tackles. With 16 goals and 11 assists for Leipzig in the 2019/20 season, Sabitzer is more attacking…
