Antony has returned to action for Manchester United, but he has yet to make an impression at Old Trafford. The Brazilian winger was recently called out by former striker Dimitar Berbatov, who played for the Red Devils between 2008 and 2012.
“Right now, it’s not working well for Antony, so my piece of advice would be to keep it simple, don’t overcomplicate stuff. The moment you start thinking you’re Ronaldinho or Zidane while you’re struggling in games, you’re going to suffer even more. Don’t try to do stupid things like tricks that are not beneficial for the team,” he told Betfair.

Berbatov’s advice for Antony
“You’re so quick, use your pace to get in-behind the defence, get on the ball and start to record assists or shoot to score. That’s how simple it is. Stay disciplined and concentrated – it’s not so difficult,” Berbatov added in regard to the former Ajax star.
Word on the street is that the club is considering to offload Antony in the upcoming transfer window, with Brazilian clubs named as potential destination. But according to Fabrizio Romano, Antony has no intention of leaving Manchester anytime soon.
