You clearly have not watched him enough if you believe this to be true

Antony has improvements to his game to make, sure, but based on what you wrote I’m not really sure that you’ve seen that much of him.
Since he arrived at United, when he approches the right corner of the box with the ball how often do you think he drove the ball to the right side to attack the depth behind the defenders instead of cutting in? The answer is : almost never and I don't even understand how could anyone deny that.
He has played football prior to his move to United and for Brazil.
He is amazing.. Doesn't lose the ball..even when pressed.. Has good passing.. Good finishing. Defensively sound.. Tracks back.. Presses..
Now he needs to take on the full back more

That nutmeg skill on was it Chilwell? Needs a gif of that
I love his shithousery to Jorginho after we equalised. My Cnut 
That’s a serious violation. Surprised Chilwell didn’t press charges.

Is he the most press-resistant player in the squad right now?
As others have noted, he’s brilliant but needs to develop more variety to his game.
I don't think it's unfair to critique this given he has played quite a few games for us now. He absolutely does need to try and take the defender down the line when they try and play him on his left foot. Even if it just taking it by the defender just to cut back across him onto the left, that is one of the easiest ways to win a penalty kick.
He needs to run down the wing and use that right foot of his as well. Other than that no complaints. Always seems to be threatening cutting in with that left foot.
Probably yes, Eriksen is also normaly pretty good.
From what I’ve seen I’d say yes. Him and Martial.
Especially yesterday there was so many occasions where he was under immense pressure from the full back. Even being doubled up on. Yet he comfortably retained possession and gave a good ball to a team mate which didn’t put the team mate in a difficult situation.
Very clever player with the ball.
He so one footed it’s quiet shocking to see in a professional footballer. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s awesome, but he needs to work on his right foot. If I was him I would spend a couple of hours each day just smashing it around with his right foot. Like Beckham, and dare I say it, Ronaldo, use to back in the day. Working on weaknesses, when everyone else has gone home, to be the very best.
Is he any more one footed than Rashford and Martial? I never see either of them use their left foot for a cross or shot.
What did he do? And why?I love his shithousery to Jorginho after we equalised. My Cnut
Apparently in revenge for Jorginho’s over exuberant celebration after the penalty as if they’d won the game.
NiceWe’re in all in agreement that he’s an outstanding footballer, but it is shocking how nonexistent his right foot is. If you’re an elite footballer today, you really should be able to cross and shoot with both feet. Not with equal power and accuracy, but with some credibility.
looks a decent player, been doing well for us. Only concern is that he’s just 1 footed, needs to use his right foot more otherwise opposition players will know exactly what he’s doing. Also needs to know when to shoot and when to pass, he seems to shoot far to often which is probably where the majority of our shots are coming from. Exciting player though and will only get better.
I’ve seen rashford quite a few times shoot on his left. Never seen Martial though.
The size of his nostrils probably has a relationship to his apparent one footedness.
I'd still go with Martial given he deals with a lot more bodies on him and is bulkier which helps him fend off pressure on him.
Nope. He isn't anymore one footed than any other top players out there, it's just people sometimes tend to hang on their latest memories. They saw him miss a good chance with his right foot, so they've unconsciously decided that he's one footed.
Most players hardly use their weaker foot and when they use them it isn't as good as their natural foot.
The cries for Antony to work on his right foot are ridiculous.
And you have seen Antony use his right in limited amount of games
Really like his ability not to lose the ball and find short passes.
Good player we brought in, and hopefully will add more to the team.

Huh?
Of course the weak foot isn't as good as the other one, hence the name..
But top players can at least pass, cross or lob a bit, no one said he should be hammering them righties from outside the box.
One of the most one-footed player I've seen in a while. It's no drama but it makes him a little bit too predictable, defenders don't bother covering his outside.
Can't play a simple pass with his right foot.
You can see him beating the full back with a speedy run but since he didn't know what to do with his right foot and couldn't cut inside he had to wait for him to catch up.
Yeah Martial has got a decent left foot. He scored away at City with it off the top of my head. Rashford has got worse I'd say as time has gone on.
Also, Martials dribbling technique is all about juggling the ball between right and left.
People are thinking one footed just in terms of shooting and crossing.
It's also about switching the ball between feet, having the balanace and technique to dribble down your weak side.
He also had great opportunity to find a teammate with a cross last match but hit it with his right foot with the strength of a 5-year old and it went out for a goal kick. Really looked like he had never used that foot before. He's brilliant other than that, though. Never loses the ball.
How often do you see Rashford or Sancho on the right using their left foot to do anything with it. They overly rely on their right foot to do anything be it cutting inside or whatever else. And yes you're being dramatic when you say thing like he can't pass with his right foot. Just because he hasn't attempted to do so doesn't mean he can't complete a simple pass with his right foot.
Most players are predominantly one footed and only use their weaker foot when they have to. Not every player is an Eriksen or Varane. Point me toward all these moments of players like Bruno, Rashford etc using their weaker foot. Heck I can't even recall a moment Bruno using his left foot ever.
I agree that it's more apparent for wingers than for infield players a la Bruno.
But don't you really see the difference between our one-footers Antony/Wan-Bissaka and Martial/Shaw?
Yes 95 % of all players have a strong foot that does most of the work but they're still capable enough that the opponent has to consider covering both sides.
You don't have to cover a right footed cross or shot from Antony, simply because it cannot result into anything dangerous.
No I'm not overdramatic at all regarding his weak foot, he attempted a few passes with his right foot and those were pretty shocking tbh.
It does feel like a left-footed player who doesn't use his right definitely gets noticed more than a right-footed player who doesn't use his left. It's odd.
I rate his performance 3 spins out of 5.
That haircut & fade, this guy is sexy.
