Erik ten Hag has explained why Antony has been performing poorly and stated that the player needs to work hard to regain form.
It has been more than a year since Antony moved to Manchester United from Ajax for a whopping £85 million ($99m) transfer fee but the Brazilian is yet to adapt to the English conditions. After managing just eight goals and three assists in 44 appearances in his debut season, the winger has failed to either score or provide an assist in the ongoing campaign thus far.
While explaining what has gone wrong with the former Ajax player, manager Ten Hag suggested that his sudden absence from the squad in between the season, due to off-field incidents, broke the player’s rhythm and he now has to work hard in training to regain his form.
