Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes Antony is finding his best form.

The winger scored an excellent goal in a 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Antony, who came off the bench to change the game for his side, may have earned himself more playing time.

Ten Hag told beIN Sports: It's very important for him. He struggled so much. First part, he was not himself, he's responsible for that.

And then he lost confidence, and now he has to fight back. We see through the last two weeks, he's returning.

I see in training, I see the Antony I was used to work with at Ajax, and also used to work in the first weeks here.

He has to fight back, and I'm sure he will do, because you've seen that goal.

But not only in the goal. When he's going to left full-back position, he's defending very well. In certain systems, he can play from that side.

He's not a defending player, don't get me wrong, because we have seen, he can score goals."
