Could end up doing a Joelinton and becoming a much better player in another position, that being left wingback.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

Won't totally give up on him yet. Left wingback could actually be a decent position for him. In contrast to Zirkzee I still see some useful attributes in him
It worked for Victor Moses at Chelsea under Conte so who knows.
It's related to the fee which is why most overdo it.
If he'd come in at 20m there'd barely be a whisper about him as he's just be an occasional squad player.
Unfortunately that boat has sailed. We will be lucky to find anyone interested in this guy..Worst buy of PL era but totally United's fault for paying that kind of money
Technical players have looked pretty crap for us because we've had an obsession with playing transition football for ages.
I'm hoping that this era of crap football is coming to an end, because we really should expect every player to have an immaculate first touch.
Nah there’s worse and more expensive signings than him in the PL era
Even if he’d cost 20m he’d still be a waste of time and money, it would just be feasible to get rid of him and he’d probably already have been sold.
I’m sure he could go on loan somewhere in Europe and do well but he’s pretty much unsellable because because he’s too big a PSR loss.
He didn’t yeet it out of play, he played a brilliant pass that very few players can play. The vision and execution was almost perfect if our forward had anticipated it better.
The idiots here are clueless haters. Never seen this much hate for our own player - ever. These Utd fans should be ashamed of themselves.
Ask Bernado Silva to play as a direct winger in this United side and this lot will start calling him Bernado flop. Will probably not be ridiculed as much because he doesn’t have a bad/punchable face like Antony.
I’ll repeat again just to wind up the clueless face-ist brigade - Antony IS technically excellent. Just needs confidence and support. I hope Amorim sees the real picture and gives him a chance.
Kepa, Nunez, mudryk, sancho, pepe are all right up there too. There's more focus on antony because he went to United.
Yeah I agree
(see later posts!)I too hope Amorim gets the best out of Antony and he makes a few eat humble pie. You might want to stop with the insulting language though chief - you’ll get yourself into hot water for opinions like that! (Ask me how I know!
)And our financial troubles built up over a decade. If we were able to spend freely, it would not be mentioned anywhere near as much.
Lukaku at 97.5m to Chelsea too
Nunez is a stretch but agree with the rest.
Jesus that's bad
Especially considering he came out and openly insulted Chelsea about 2 months after signing for them.
To be fair the main difference is that he can play during other days of the week.
That and the goals against City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona ect.

It was a shit trick where he’s spinning without anyone actually being near him, followed by a shit pass that was overhit.
Imagine Nani’s seal dribble, but the score was 0-0 and he headed it straight into the path of an Arsenal player that went on to score, that’s how stupid Antony’s dribble and pass was.
I don’t know what to say to you. Go look at it again. He does a roundabout with a ball with no player in sight not to mention what he did after it.
If Amorim can resurrect Antony's career, he'd be a miracle worker. I hope it happens.Yeah I agree
I too hope Amorim gets the best out of Antony and he makes a few eat humble pie. You might want to stop with the insulting language though chief - you’ll get yourself into hot water for opinions like that! (Ask me how I know!
Would still like to see him upfront as a support striker.
You can keep repeating this, but it doesn't make it correct.
Not really, Antony is a young player who is clearly talented. He just needs nurturing to bring out his best.
Not exactly. Maybe you need to look again?
No it wasn’t.
Not it wasn’t what?
Shit or stupid.
Look I’m not here to defend the guy, he hasn’t been good enough - end of. All I hope is that the new manager can get something out of him other than just a decent fee, because I think if he comes good he will be an entertaining player. Nani is a pretty good comparison to be fair.
Kanchelskis once stood on top a ball and did the ”what’s on the horizon sailor”, everyone loved it as it’s all just a bit of fun.
I wonder what the reaction would be if Garnacho did Antony’s spin?
Antony’s spin and pass is the equivalent of Kanchelski standing on the ball and falling over.
People are still mad that he did a spin two years ago?
All down hill from there!People are still mad that he did a spin two years ago?
It was so stupid that everyone stopped up and wondered what the actual feck was going on. If there was an opposition player close to him that he managed to feint and go past, then by all means, but all he did was slow things down for a few seconds and then play an overhit pass that the opposition could easily deal with. It’s not even a fun party trick.
Of course it’s a party trick. That’s exactly what it is. A trick, tekkers, skillz or what ever it’s called these days. It’s not even an over hit pass.
He’s played in infront of Casemiro to run on too who sadly has all the hustle of a portaloo and makes it look bad. If that pass is played to Nacho, Bruno or Marcus they pick it up and it’s a shooting/crossing opportunity.
IYO. Disagree, move on. It was years ago.
If he goes so be it, if he stays I hope he improves under the new manager.
Its all I think aboutPeople are still mad that he did a spin two years ago?
It was for rangers. But he had achieved a lot in his career before doing that.
