DEVASTATING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano, ” he is annoying to watch. For me, watching as a fan, I get angry when I watch him because it’s frustrating should even start to watch videos on clips of some right wingers who have been there and done it. He’s not the kind of player Man United needs”. Manchester United legend Dimitar Berbatov is calling on the club to axe Manchester United FLOP as he feels he not the standard of player Manchester United needs.
Dimitar Berbatov, a former striker for Manchester United, has criticised €100 million acquisition Antony.
Erik ten Hag brought the Brazilian winger to Old Trafford from Ajax last summer, and despite a challenging debut season where he scored eight goals and provided three assists, expectations were high for improvement in his second year. However, the 23-year-old is currently experiencing a downturn in form, failing to register a goal or assist in 22 appearances across all competitions.
While such struggles might be more forgivable for an 18-year-old academy player, they raise concerns for a €100m signing. Dimitar Berbatov joins others in expressing disappointment with Antony’s performance, especially as Jadon Sancho, who is on loan at Borussia Dortmund, quickly regains form.
Berbatov sympathizes with Antony, acknowledging his talent, but criticizes his tendency to overcomplicate plays, lose possession, and express frustration on the field. The former player suggests that Antony needs guidance on positioning, movement, and decision-making, either from someone on the pitch or external sources like coaches, friends, agents, or even watching videos of successful right wingers.
Expressing frustration as a fan, Berbatov emphasizes Antony’s need to be mentally astute and receptive to criticism. He states that if Antony cannot overcome his current difficulties, he might need to consider leaving the club. Berbatov advocates for coaching staff at Manchester United to provide guidance, leaving the onus on Antony to comprehend and implement the advice given. Ultimately, the former player believes Antony should be given more time to correct his mistakes before being judged definitively at the end of the season.
