What is Antony Number and Position at Man Utd?
If he’s given time and space to get his head up at Old Trafford, Antony can deliver a trophy for the reds this season. What is Antony Number and Position at Man Utd?
At Ajax, Antony mainly played on the right flank. He is playing the same right wing position at Manchester United. The Brazil international has hit the ground running, he has seemed to improve a lot from last season… Antony wears jersey number 21 at Man Utd.. He’s built for the bigger stages; he will even shine more at Old Trafford with all the eyes of the world on him.
From this starting position he holds the width extremely well – which stretches the opposition and creates central space for his teammates. Alternatively, if the opposition decide to stay compact, Antony is given acres of space to operate in. The problem that Antony creates is that he can thrive in either situation.. Notably, whipping crosses to the back post that only take a touch to fly in.
The 21/22 season wasn’t a good one for ManUnited as three different managers took charge whilst they collected the fewest points in a single Premier League season (58) and finished the campaign without a positive goal difference for the first time in over 30 years (0). But the appointment of Erik Ten Hag signals the start of a new era and whilst it won’t be an easy fix, Manchester United are on the right track –
How fast is Antony on the right wing position?
On 30th August 2022, Ajax confirmed they had reached an agreement with Manchester United for Antony’s transfer. Two days later, Antony signed a five-year contract for a transfer fee of €95 million (£82 million), with a further €5 million (£4.27 million) in add-ons, the third highest transfer fee ever paid by the club after Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku and this was Ajax’s and the Eredivisie’s biggest transfer ever. Upon his arrival at the club he was handed the number 21 shirt previously worn by Edinson Cavani, who had recently departed the club.
On 4 September, he scored on his debut for the club in a 3–1 home league victory over rivals Arsenal.

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 defence. Meanwhile if the space is central, he’lll play a wall pass and move even further inside.

Antony dos Santos skills
In terms of his standout attributes, Brazilian Man Utd Antony is a dynamic and creative inverted winger. He’s 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.
Why Antony will flourish under ten Hag system with number 21
Antony is the 4th South American Utd player to wear the number 21 shirt after Edinson Cavani (2021/22), Rafael da Silva (2008/09 to 2011/12) and Diego Forlan (2001/02 to 2004/05).
Who wears number 11 at Man United? Mason Greenwood currently dons the 11 jersey but if the in-trouble striker may soon lose his preferred squad number to Antony Matheus.
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.
According to Statman Dave, Schooled by Ten Hag, Antony is a good presser – curving his run to funnel the opposition according to the specific match tactics.

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.

- 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
