Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has shed light on the struggles of Antony.
Many fans and pundits have questioned the sums that United spent to bring in the former Ajax winger.
Having specifically asked his club to secure Antony for a mega 86.3 million fee, Ten Hag is adamant the flier will come good.
After losing 3-0 to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Ten Hag stated regarding Antony: That is also team, first, and the team is not playing well when we don't bring him the balls and I am also responsible for that.
But obviously, there was also a lot of noise and that dropped his levels. He can do better but all the players can do better.
Antony is also a fighter, he has the confidence, he is brave and I am confident he will bring the performance that he is the right player for us."
