Ten Hag commented on Antony's first goal in five months

Manchester United winger Antony's performance, or rather his lack of it in the 2023/2024 season has been the subject of ridicule from fans. But the Brazilian's manager Erik ten Hag knows how to get the player back to his former form.

Details: After the 7-0 win over Barnsley in the EFL Cup, where Antony came into the starting line-up and scored from the penalty spot, the Dutchman said the winger just needed to gain confidence and Marcus Rashford, who gave the Brazilian a shot off the mark, helped him do that.

Quote, ‘They are very ambitious, very hungry. But they also give each other the ball, they want to give passes to each other and give each other opportunities to score goals, like the penalty. Antony needs confidence, and then Rashford gives Antony a shot from the mark, which is very useful for the team when they are together,’ said ten Hag.

Recall: The goal in the match against Barnsley was the first for Antony in almost five months. Last time he scored back on 27 April in the game against Burnley (1:1). In total, last season the Brazilian scored only three goals in 38 games for Manchester United.
