“The end product is nowhere to be seen,” former England international Darren Bent decried Antony after recent ineffective performances.
“All the tricks, Antony’s on-field performances don’t mean much. The quality is not there,” talkSPORT quoted Darren Bent. “He does all that but doesn’t get past anyone. It’s not like Antony created a trick to get the ball over his opponent. He did it just to show off.” .
“The feeling Antony is a YouTube player. You watch all the videos of a player’s best moments and think this is a great signing. But what is quality and what is the end product? Antony had a good start at MU, but the effect was not there, “said the former Tottenham striker .
Since moving to MU in the summer of 2022, Antony often performs dribbling and spinning performances that are considered unnecessary. “It’s ridiculous,” former player Robbie Savage frankly commented. Legendary Paul Scholes declared: “Antony made a joke”.
“We are known for the art created on the pitch. I will not stop showing what has defined me,” Antony responded to criticism.
In MU’s 2-3 defeat against Arsenal on January 22, Antony played faintly. The 22-year-old is among the four players scored the lowest by Sofa Score in the match. He had only 43 touches of the ball, passed with 75% accuracy and lost the ball 15 times in his 71 minutes on the field.
Playing 11 matches and contributing only 3 goals, experts said that Antony is not worthy of a contract worth up to 100 million euros.
