“Flop of the season” goes to the 23-year-old, according to talkSPORT announcer and former Chelsea striker Tony Casacrino.
After moving to the Theatre of Dreams from Ajax for a fee that increased to £85 million last year, the Brazilian winger has not been in good form.
After 12 appearances in all competitions this season, he still hasn’t scored or assisted on a goal, and United fans are starting to lose patience with him.
When he was substituted off during the 1-0 victory away to Fulham earlier this month, the Craven Cottage crowd cheered.
When asked about Antony’s contributions to Manchester United, United great Andy Cole reportedly said that the player would “absolutely madden” him.
Ԁimitаr Berbаtоv, а cult figure, hаs wаrneԀ the plаyer tо cut оut the “stupiԀ things” if he wаnts tо be in Erik ten Hаg’s inner circle.
After Antony’s lacklustre performances on the Weekend Sports Breakfast, Cascarino has slammed him.
In response to co-host Natalie Sawyer’s request, he bestowed the unwelcome accolade of “Flop of the Season” upon the 16-cap Selecao international.
According to Cascarino, the ex-Sao Paulo star has been “hugely disappointing.”Antony is the one I’d pick if I were looking for a player who has been in the Premier League for a year but hasn’t shown any improvement from previous season.
United spent a significant penny—£80 million—to get him, so they’re counting on him to be a major star.
“He definitely hasn’t met that expectation in any way.”
Antony will not be participating in Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers during international break due to his lackluster play.
Antony will be looking to break his goal drought next weekend when United go to Everton, a stadium where he scored in United’s 2-1 victory last season.
