Manchester United hero Rio Ferdinand has questioned whether Antony is up to competing at Premier League level.
The 22-year-old was largely ineffective in defeat at Arsenal and was substituted in the second half after failing to have an impact on the game.
Ferdinand, speaking on his FIVE show, criticised the Brazilian, suggesting he is showing nothing like the form he produced at Ajax, which convinced United to spend 86m on him.
"He just doesn't beat anyone and I'm sitting there thinking, 'Was that always the way?'" Ferdinand said.
"I've seen clips of him when he was at Ajax and he was somebody who used to beat people.
"I saw Thomas Partey, who I wouldn't put down as a sprinter, absolutely burst past him, and I'm thinking, Woah, he (Antony) hasn't got much power in them legs!"
"He's a tricky winger, but with tricky wingers you want them to still be able to beat the defender."
