He most likely would have been, if it weren't for Højlunds late injury.Amad showed more than what he did this season. Need to be benched

How the feck are you not blaming ETH? He was the guy's manager for fecking 2 years and cried to the board that we needed to sign him at all costs after not getting De Jong.How someone can decide to spend 100 million euros on player like this? I am not even blaming ETH that much. I blame Arnold and Murtough. It is not monopoly money. In any other job owners would sack you that second for that.
Is he though? There's certainly doubt, I've never seen Antony burn a fullback on the outside.I know it’s not what you want from Antony, but Pochettino has found some success convincing Mudryk to simplify his game (kill the fancy dribble attempts, etc) and use his raw physical skills to make some decent impacts as a sub; especially working hard to press. Antony is without a doubt physically gifted. I’m surprised there isn’t a niche job like that he could perform… test tired legs of an opposing team.
Fair enough. I don’t watch all your games, but he seemed very fast twitch to me, especially when he first came in last year. I thought it was his head slowing him down. If he just cut out the five step overs, pick a direction and go, then he would be more dangerous. If he really doesn’t have that in his locker .. that would be tough to overcome.I'm not sure you've ever actually watched Antony if you think he's physically gifted. He lacks any sort of burst, doesn't have much pace over longer stretches, and has very poor balance and isn't particularly strong. Mudryk for all of his faults has always been fecking rapid both from a standstill and over longer distances.
Genuinely hard to disagree with that first line.Unfortunately he is the worst signing in the history of football. To have signed such an utterly average footballer for such a fee is criminal. Heads should roll over that deal alone.
This is the point with Antony, whilst players like Rashford underperform you at least know they have other levels they are capable of producing, but with Antony his level is just varying degrees of bad, with virtually zero hope of it getting much better.100mil EUR for him. The signing deserves a Pepe at Arsenal level investigation, although the answer would be easy. Points straight to ETH.
Worst thing is, this isn't a bad run of form, he's been like this ever since he joined. Never ever looked like a player worth that much money.

25m still would have been far too much.Tweet

Likely a Turkish club on loan, or the likes.We paid £2.5m for Jordan Ayew and I wouldn’t swap him for Antony. Dreadful player and couldn’t be any more unlikeable. Really not sure who would take him off your hands?
I don’t think you’d get more than £15m for him at the moment, honestly. And that’s being generous. On £200k a week as well which rules out the vast majority of clubs unless heavily subsidised by Utd.How much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
A few loans in Ligue 1 or maybe La Liga before ending up at a mid-table Turkish club for free.Likely a Turkish club on loan, or the likes.
On the wages he'll be on then he's probably unsellable.How much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
Honestly like 15m.How much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
He pushed for Diaz as well didn't he? He clearly knew what he was talking about, but was just given the wrong job at the club.Rangnick was desperately pushing for us to sign Julian Alvarez from River Plate, Board said no. City signed him for 14.1 million.
We ended up with this clown for a hugely inflated price.
Probably 10m at face value, and that's not including how difficult he will be to actually ship off due to his high wages.How much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
30 million??How much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
One of the worst mistakes we’ve made as a club, not far off from bringing in Moyes, was getting rid of Rangnick. He would have put his boot on the neck of ETH to stop the trifecta of idiot transfers: Antony, Mount and Onana.Rangnick was desperately pushing for us to sign Julian Alvarez from River Plate, Board said no. City signed him for 14.1 million.
We ended up with this clown for a hugely inflated price.
Who would pay £30m?How much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
Oh yeah I'd absolutely pay someone £30m to take him off our handsHow much do we reckon he's worth? £30m?
Fellaini was streets ahead of this bum.Ten Hag's Fellaini. And that feels harsh on Fellaini. Will be sold by the next manager. Not much else to analyse.
Or back at Ajax.Can't score. Can't assist. Can't dribble. But the manager still starts him at every opportunity. The pair of them belong in the championship
If Erik goes, maybe someone can coach him to actually beat a man.Needs a few months off, never thought he looked great last season but at least he contributed. This season dire.
We have Garnacho, Pellestri, Diallo and Sancho if Erik goes. So we have options on the right, not great ones granted but all as good or better than Antony right now.
I said "not blaming him that much".How the feck are you not blaming ETH? He was the guy's manager for fecking 2 years and cried to the board that we needed to sign him at all costs after not getting De Jong.
Going to chip in here and say he was absolutely a different player at Ajax, especially in the games I've seen. Should be taken with a pinch of salt as the Dutch league has tragic defending, quite comical even. However, he could beat his man and sometimes even on the outside too, but not that often.In my time as a Utd fan, which is 20 years now, this is the worst winger I have seen (Obertan and Bebe does not count). Young and Valencia used to boil my blood, but they are streets ahead of anything he has ever produced.
-Young had pace and very good shot and great cross in him.
-Valencia had crosses and pace plus physically he was a monster
With him he does not have pace, physically he is feeble, can't cross, can't dribble, shooting is shit. His only attribute is, that he occupies the right hand side and stretch the pitch and work hard defensively. For the money we have spent on him, he should have been De Bruyne or Haaland type signing for us, instead he appears to be in line for record of most appearances without a goal and assist. Shocking signing and for all the other faults of ETH, he should be sacked for this signing only.
Neville also said he's inconsistent. But that is not true. You have to be good sometimes to be called "inconsistent". Being shit to average is not inconsistent.This is the point with Antony, whilst players like Rashford underperform you at least know they have other levels they are capable of producing, but with Antony his level is just varying degrees of bad, with virtually zero hope of it getting much better.
Neville made me laugh when he said he could develop hiimself to be like Marhez, not in a million years.
