The team responsible for this signing must be taken to the courts. Calling this a sackable offence is an understatement. This reeks of an organization where job safety is incredibly high mixed with extremely low accountability. The fact that any human with any amount of football knowledge saw a report on this man and thought, "Yes, that's 90m" reeks of a lot of 'yes' men at the top of the chain.

Yep. It's why people were sounding the alarm bells even before signing him, because his creative production wasn't very good even in a perfectly tailored system at Ajax in a much easier league, and his physical attributes are fecking terrible for what is supposed to be a PL level winger. There was no clear path to him being productive here unless he turned into an absolute gunman in front of goal (tough to do when you have only one way of striking a ball)
Thing is you would look at him and think he’d have the ability to create a yard to slip passes through for someone running on to but honestly think I’ve only seen him maybe do this once or twice. He is just awful and there was a vid of training the otherday and he is tiny. Like he is dwarfed in terms of build compared to Mainoo and Garnacho. He has no upper body strength at all.

I was down for this signing at like 40-50 mil but the money paid for him honestly seems like something criminal went on.

He's lucky to be here and that's quite a terrible thing to say about a footballer at this level. Realistically he should've never left the Brazilian league as that's his level and even there he'd be one the worst wingers. How he made it here is a head scratcher.

Ajax gambled on some unknown Brazilian winger and we swooped in and paid a fee that would get you Olise/Sane/Coman and basically any winger of your choice out there. I'll be honest even watching Antony putting on a Man Utd jersey annoys me. He's so, so bad.

He was pretty shit today... Nothing came off. Our right wing is a black hole somehow sucks talent out of anything.

He is shamelessly poor, what an absolute dogshite of a player. He is perhaps the worst footballer in the epl pound for pound. Has no fear factor even against nonsense players. What a moron in both victory and defeat, what a waste, what a nothing of player.

Brazilian Globo Sport says there was a leaked message in the group chat where he called Erik Ten Hag "bald egg head" :lol: don't know if its true though. How could he go off against the only man on this planet that rates him..

"One way of striking the ball" is so spot on!

Yeah his weight of pass is horrific, as is his crossing. So his only "threat" is the constant curlers from distance that seem so tame now that everyone has figured out he's a one trick pony.

The balance thing was the biggest red flag from the get go for me, if you're going to be this slight, tricky brazilian winger that isn't very quick you at least need to be incredible at keeping your balance, but he slips more than any United player I can remember. He's genuinely one of the more unathletic United players I've ever seen take the pitch, much less for a winger.

It's always someone elses fault when he passes to the opposition, the most unlikable United player of recent memory and sadly will be very hard to offload with the salary he is on. I haven't wanted to see ETH sacked but you have to look at the signings of Antony and Onana - these will get him the sack.

Pretty sure himself and Mount was bitching about ETH on the way to the tunnel.

It's fake. Globo didn't actually report that. Came from a parody account.

The worst signing ever in the Prem and simultaneously one of its most unlikeable characters

Mount wasn't bitching, he was walking to the dressing room after thanking the fans but Antony was pestering him like the creep at a bar that doesn't respect women's boundaries.

I’d just leave him out the squads until the summer and move him on.

Given the state of this team and how un-athletic it is that is really saying something. It’s wild how much we actually miss Fred :lol: I was on the fence about Olise but right now he’d be a ground breaking improvement over Antony. Remember when he did that 360 pirouette and people were losing their mind like that was some sort of hard skill.

The only Manchester United player I ever felt a genuinely dislike for. Its the way he carries himself and represents the club. Its not a good fit.

He's started like 5 games since Amad scored that goal Vs. Liverpool.
Which under Ten Hag was the most predictable thing ever. Ten Hag has basically been punishing Amad ever since for giving us the best moment of the season

He's starting against Arsenal, Newcastle, Brighton and Man City. Ten Hag is desperate for Antony to show something that justifies him pushing the club to go back and gift €100m to Ajax and its kind of funny at this point.

That Antony is not that good ok! But United pays too much for average players, too! And then it happens that you expect a 100M player and Antony in the best of cases would cost about 25/30M... even Olise is much better and martinelli, doku, Johnson, Hudson odoi, xaka and any winger from the premier.

He just isn’t good enough and never be, he’s our version of Pepe and will follow similar path out of the club by being loaned out.

Im sure I could mark him out of a game, and I haven’t played football (ie kick around on a field) for over a decade. He’s that bad, would struggle even in the Scottish league.
