Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?
He did much better with Dalot supporting him than AWB. Hope Dalot returns soon
Will Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?
Yes he will be fine at man utd, he just need to settle in and train harder. Remember we are still building a squad
We Have to give these players a year to adjust. Jack Grealish is finally starting to play well and get some assists. Not too many come from the Dutch league and hit the ground running.
How many goals did Antony score for Ajax?
Before moving to Manchester United in September 2022, Antony made 57 league appearances in total at Ajax, scoring 18 goals and providing 14 assists.
Anthony will come good. He has a lot of quality in spite of his inconsistency. He’s young and has a long way to go.
Antony has not adapted to the long-term demands of Man United. He needs more time to assimilate the team, the club, the fans, and the opposing teams.
It has been hard for United supporters to watch Antony and not suffer flashbacks to another South American winger who arrived for massive money. “Talented but a complete fanny,” is how Angel Di Maria was described by one unnamed former team-mate at Old Trafford. And while Antony appears to be rather more driven to succeed at United than the pea-hearted Argentinian, there have been echoes of Di Maria in the new boy’s performances.
Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?
As a left-footed player – a very, very left-footed player – coming off the right flank, Antony has so far struggled to carry out many of the basic duties expected of a top-level winger, never mind the 13th most expensive player in history. His output in simple terms: five goals – none in the Premier League for three and a half months – and no assists in 20 games.
Anecdotally, the 22-year-old has struggled to beat a defender, which is hardly surprising if there’s any truth in the criticisms that he’s got little pace and a steadfast unwillingness to use his right foot for anything other than pivoting on.
One of the most disturbing aspects of United’s defeat at Arsenal was the sight of Thomas Partey chasing Antony down with ease as the winger wasted a chance to break clear on goal, instead coming back inside on to his left foot and into the retreating midfielder’s path. Defensively, he looks even slower.
If all that were true, United could not get Jadon Sancho healthy and happy quickly enough. Or perhaps plans to loan out Facundo Pellistri might have to be shelved while Antony struggles. But United don’t appear flustered
This is where Ten Hag as a Manager should steer Antony on the right path, get him to score goals, and play consistently
Quantum Neep said: “I’ve watched every minute Antony has played so far for United and he really hasn’t been as bad as has been suggested by certain people. In fact, some of the criticism in the British media is bordering on xenophobic now.
He’s getting games because he knows Ten Hag’s system inside out, so his positioning, tracking back and pressing is already having a positive effect on the balance of the side. He’s struggling to create chances but that’s partially because United are currently playing with a false nine, who drops deep to give space for runners like Rashford. Ten Hag wants an out and out striker to get into the box more, which should benefit Antony as it gives him someone to actually cross the ball to, like he had with Haller at Ajax. “

Manchester Derby PREDICTIONS By SportsFila: Man Utd vs City
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group, the club’s new partial owners, are exploring options to assume the role. According to Team Talk, the Red Devils are considering the 41-year-old as a candidate for the manager position.

ESPN loves ManUtd. As much they say that they hate talking about ManUtd they can’t stop talking about ManUtd 😅😅. They have spend 15 mins speaking on rumours – Hypocrites.
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
It’s not Ten Hag fault when players like rashford do not put in all the effort after signing a new contract. Also ten hag had to deal with incredible amount of injuries which ESPN deliberately overlooks. So getting another manager isn’t going to solve anything.
It’s so funny how the English media fails to realize that the structure & the players is the problem at united…..but they trying to sack ETH who is an elite manger under a proper management structure 💯
The best manager that seems to be being overlooked shouod be n1 on the list for bayern utd liverpool is someone inzaghi. Hes done great things with Lazio and inter. Loads of experience and has got to european finals and won domestic leagues.
Manchester City 3-1 win over United in Manchester Derby.
It is very different getting an underdog /dark horse to perform vs going to an environment where the spotlight in on you everyday from day 1. The same thing happened at Bayern with a couple of their coaches…
Afcon 2024 victory is well deserved for Ivory Coast they left no stone unturned and they dominated throughout. If there is a one person who deserved to win the AFCON it was Sebastian Haller. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer but he recovered and he returned to play football in 2023 only to bottle the Bundesliga title on the final matchday to Bayern but here we are in 2024 where he scored the winner in the AFCON final to win Cote d’Ivoire AFCON title so congratulations🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏆

FT: Nigeria 1-2 Ivory Coast
But Ivory Coast won fair and square. They played better. Congratulations champs.
What Adingra did in the African Cup of Nation was phenomenal. Nigerians will remember him as a nighmare forever. The boy has a great future ahead of him.
Why Biased Ten Hag Cannot Discipline Rashford Like Sancho
Haller beats cancer, then comes to the AFCON and scores the most important goal in the final, the winning goal what a beautiful story for that man and Ivory coast, congratulations to them👏👏
Congratulations to Ivory Coast from cameroonian👏👏👏you organized and won the most beautiful AFCON in story, unbelievable achievment when we look how things went for you.
One of the best tournaments I’ve seen.
Almost every team demonstrated that they were not afraid of their opponent and played above expectations.
Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire who never gave up and believed and implemented their progress towards goal as much as possible until the last second in this tournament. Kudos to Nigeria for high yield and quality.
Thank you for making the spectators so emotional and congratulations and best wishes to the Ivory Coast and the Ivorian people.

Thanks for your company.

Congratulations to Ivory Coast for winning the Africa Cup🏆! The team showed strength and desire to win and to not give up until the end. And the fans were absolutely amazing
P.s Haller deserved it the most, since he suffered a lot.
The story of Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the African Nations is one of the most beautiful stories in the history of football. We sympathized with this team’s version a lot and we will tell it to our children in the future 🧡

‘He’s very coachable, he wants to learn, to improve every day’ |SportsFila can feel the meaning of a ‘coachable player that wants to improve every day’. Because ETH has to deal with players that are not like this at all.
remember at Ajax TH once said “a process takes time, but by throwing in young players in big games that process gets accelerated”. Always stuck with me considering he let Mainoo debut against Everton (after the 10 point deduction at an intense Goodison Park) and then straight into the Galatasaray away game in the CL. H
He also has done the same with Garnacho last year and this year. Then he did the same with Pellistri against Bayern Munich who in my opinion did well enough to deserve another chance. I think it’s a way for him to see how they respond to the pressure and intensity. He’s not afraid to play the youngsters ONLY if he considers them good and fearless enough.
Why Roma loved and sacked Jose Mourinho
He made De Ligt Ajax captain at 18 years old because he saw leadership qualities. He has his own methods, but I’m convinced he knows exactly what he’s doing regarding the future of United. United fans need to remember 75% of this current squad won’t be part of the future so maybe allow him a bit more time to show what he’s trying to build.

ETH is a highly resillient manager to go through all the crisis and egos, poor performances, players personal issues and ownership drama and come out on the other side with these kind of performances. He brought in the right striker young full of potential and work ethic. Young players are starring in the squad WE ARE ON THE WAY.
Jadon Sancho Will REGRET His Behaviour At Man United
All the instability across the club that he’s gone through and still kept us in the Top 8. Now he’s finally seeing the other side of the drawn-out “club sale, no-sale”, multiple injuries, media controversies, spoiled players, and all the other nonsense, we see the team moving into sixth position. The man deserves all the praise in the world for being so resilient.
It’s interesting hearing ten hag speaking on rashford because he mentions a lot of qualities which he possesses, however they are all physical and technical, the one thing he didn’t speak positively about was his mentality and for me this is what has always separated Rashford from the very best.
In football and sport as a whole mentality is the one thing you need more than anything, it’s what separates the good from the great and I don’t know if rashford has that real hunger and desire in him to be great. The kind of desire where you’re willing to get hurt to score a goal.
