BREAKING NEWS: “If Erik Ten Hag can’t play me he should just sell me out of Manchester United or he loans me out of the Club- Manchester United FLOP Antony becoming ‘impatient’ over lack of Manchester United playing time.

According to Erik Ten Hag, Antony has become “impatient” because of his lack of playing time at Manchester United.

He has only played once this season, as an 89th-minute substitute in Brighton on August 25. Antony was supposed to participate in United’s 3-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday, but Matthijs De Ligt had to leave due to a cramp and Casemiro appeared as a substitute.

Antony played 21 of United’s 52 games in the previous season and the Brazilian international was not started in any of their 5 pre-season tournaments. The other wingers Amad, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford all scored a goal this season and Ten Hag could not guarantee that Antony would start playing against League One Barnsley in the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday night.

Antony is United’s second most expensive player after Paul Pogba. The club acquired the Brazilian player for an initial amount of 81.3 million pounds sterling from Ajax on the 2022 transfer deadline, but Antony scored only 11 goals in 83 games.

Garnacho was recruited by Atletico Madrid in 2020, while Amad was considered a young talent when he arrived from Atalanta for a first prize of £19m a few weeks later.

“It’s professional football, it’s high-level football,” replied Ten Hag when asked if Antony had trouble playing behind two young wingers. “These are the laws.” Choose the club that you think is most likely to win a game.

Players must fight for their positions. You choose the XI with the best dynamism, the best chemistry. There are two and we are delighted with that.

“Two players have evolved since their childhood in the group, in the selection.” It is now that he must return and he has the skills to do so. When he makes the right choice, he can compete with them.

Ten Hag explained the nature of Antony’s opponents who were responsible for his peripheral status. “The other players are very good, they make their contribution.” We have Amad, Garna – extremely effective. Rashford scored on the weekend.

“So he must get the right in training, but the others are doing really well.” He must overcome them. Of course, he’s impatient. He wants to play and fights to play.
