Antony Santos vs Marcus Rashford: Who is better?
SportsFila Compares Stats of Brazilian Superstar Antony Matheus with British hero Rashford MBE on Football skill. Antony Santos vs Marcus Rashford: Who is better?
By far, Antony is always the winner . No contest. Averaging less than 20 goal contributions per season, Rashford has not done anything extraordinary for two to three years – apart for school dinners and writing kids Books. Brazilian Antony footballer will hit the ground running in the EPL, he has seemed to improve a lot from last season. He’s built for the bigger stage, so he will even shine more at Old Trafford with all the eyes of the world and press on him every week.
Antony averages 47 passes per match with a pass completion rate of 79%, …He provides assists every: 90 minutes and
scores a goal every: 180 minutes.
Just look at Marcus Rashford stats vs Brighton: • 90 minutes played • 0 goals • 0 assists • 0 shots on target • 0/2 dribbles completed • 0 crosses • 0 long balls .
In terms of his standout attributes, Antony is a better dynamic and creative inverted winger than Marcus Rashford. The Brazilian winger has got extreme acceleration; great agility and body balance; not to mention a real aggression in his play that you get from South American forwards. He’s also an excellent 1 v 1 dribbler, a dangerous passer and he has a wicked shot.
Rashford still has it, but just needs to build up his confidence back. But don’t shower too much praises on Antony yet until he’s been baptized by fire in the premier league and still performs.
Antony to Manchester United Officially Confirmed By Fabrizio Romano #HereWeGo
Comparing present-day Rashford with Antony ,Antony is better . But comparing 4 seasons ago Rashford , then he has better pace and outstanding than Antony, I don’t know what really happened to Rashford, he was a promising talent coming up ,all hope was on him.. boom he lost everything,pace , dribbling,. energy and so on.. presently Antony is better ..same with Sancho, Sancho lost energy and everything at Dortmund before coming to Man U..
Kingejiro says the only thing Marcus Rashford has over Antony is his PR game and essay writing skills. Antony vs Jadon Sancho is the ideal comparison, NOT Rashford vs Antony.

After a summer of speculation, Manchester United have brought in attacking reinforcements, signing Antony from Ajax for a potential final fee of 100 million euros. Erik Ten Hag has already stated that the Brazilian has been signed to play on the right of his attack but what should Manchester United fans expect from his arrival?
“It’s my DREAM come true”, Antony speaks to MUTV for the first time after completing his £85.4m move from Ajax.
Rashford VS Antony dos Santos: who is better for Erik ten hag
Without the ball Antony works harder for the team than Rashford. Schooled by Ten Hag, Antony is a good presser – curving his run to funnel the opposition according to the specific match tactics.
According to Statman Dave, the Brazilian flair and aggression that Antony plays with should make him well suited to the Premier League. Like with all new signings, young signings expect him to need time to adapt but his all round play – his passing, positional awareness and ability in 1 v 1s, not to mention his aggression and tenacity will be apparent from his first appearance. Still just 22 and with the potential to be truly world class, Antony might cost a lot of money but he’ll be well worth it.
Why Antony Matheus Dos Santos has better skills than Marcus Rashford MBE
Antony can deliver very accurate crosses. Notably, whipping crosses to the back post that only take a touch to fly in. However if there’s no obvious target, he’ll drive inside with the ball where he becomes a bigger threat. He’s very dangerous in these situations and likes to cut inside to get a shot off – often trying to pick out the far corner. But Antony has more to his game than long shots. He loves quick interplay, notably a 1-2 with an interior and where the space is will influence what Antony does. He’s an intelligent player and If there’s space out wide, he’ll follow up his pass with an underlapping run, getting in behind the defense. Meanwhile if the space is central, he’lll play a wall pass and move even further inside.
Is Antony left footed?
Yes, Manchester United’s new signing Antony Santos is a left-footed wide man (winger) who will improve Erik ten Hag’s attacking firepower.

Another big strength of the Brazilian is Antony’s ability to operate in tight spaces. This is a sign of a top talent. Antony doesn’t rely on pure speed to beat his man, instead his quick feet, close control and impressive agility allow him to unbalance his opponent and wriggle past them. It also allows him to still keep the ball when he’s doubled up on by turning and jinking to beat multiple players and it’s something we’re already seeing more of this season from the Brazilian.
Carl Rees writes, ” Manchester United have signed some real pros this Summer, could have a massive impact on turning what has been a circus of a dressing room round. Look what Martinez & Malacia have done for our defence already1 Martinez especially with his infectious passion, high-fiving & encouraging all his teammates with every good save, tackle or block. These South Americans often have tough childhoods, they’ve fought their whole lives for everything & they bring that onto the pitch, both Martinez & Antony spoke about their tough childhoods in their introductory interviews. Very appreciative guys with a great work ethic, just what is needed more of at United. Ten Hag & Antony have like a father/son relationship, such huge mutual respect. Can only be something we’ll benefit from.”

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
