The playful jab has attracted over 110,000 views and comes at a time when Antony is trying to find his footing at Manchester United.
Antony, who joined United for a whopping £85 million from Ajax, hasn’t quite delivered on the investment. Last season, he scored just one goal and provided a single assist in 29 league appearances, a return that has left fans and critics wanting more. Even United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, didn’t mince words, admitting that Antony’s performance was “not good.”
Yet, Antony is still with United and insists that the upcoming season will be a turnaround, attributing last season’s poor form to personal issues.
As the new Premier League season approaches, Antony is under the spotlight. The pressure is on for him to step up and justify his hefty price tag. His journey at Manchester United hasn’t been smooth, but the upcoming season offers a fresh start.
Will he rise to the occasion, or will the challenges prove too great? It’s a storyline that will captivate fans and critics alike, as Antony looks to make his mark and silence the doubters.
