Antony had a relatively frustrating outing in Man United’s 4-2 win over Sheffield United in the Premier League on Wednesday (April 24).
The Brazilian winger created a few half-chances and linked up with teammates nicely at times, but he lacked any goal-scoring threats and often gave away possession with his unnecessary shots.
He ended up being replaced before the half-hour mark for Amad Diallo, who brought more energy and creative threat in the final third.
Some Man United fans on Redcafe are done with Antony and jut want him sold after that outing against Sheffield, and here’s how they reacted to it.
Soapythecat: “How can anyone suggest that performance last night was anything other than a disgrace for a player on £200k+ a week and cost £85M? It's not like last night was a one off, on the contrary, last night was one of his better performances and he was still well below average. I doubt he would start for any other PL side. Given how ridiculously one footed he is, would he not be best served on the left wing when he can compete with Rashford? He is a waste of a position when he plays on the right and just slows play down and brings the ball onto his good side which enables the defender to get goal side every time. He is useless at best. The guy needs hounding out of OT and players need to know that this level isn't good enough.”
Sylar: “I think saying his performance was ok at best is being generous but it's more a basis of how shocking and useless he usually is. He was less so yesterday, so there's that I guess. Hopefully gone next season. Wondering how much we could get for him if we did sell him. I can't see many clubs going for a player that struggles to use a foot,to take on people, lacks good pace and can't really cross.”
RuudTom83: “Playing on the right wing and being scared to cross it with your right foot is one hell of a handicap to play with.”
Klayton88: “Has the arrogance of somebody who thinks they are 80% better than they actually are. Extremely horrible guy all round. No place for him here.”
E-mal: “85m quid!!! That deal needs to be investigated, some money laundering scheme must be involved. Not his fault but we have been properly scammed, Nigerian prince style.”
Trex: “He was okayish.... he'll track back, press and he keeps the ball well, but offensively he doesn't carry much threat. You could see with Amad that through ball Bruno miscontrolled. Antony doesn't have that neither is he quick or can he truly beat players in tight areas. He's just a level below what you'll want, but you can't fault his effort.”
