Was not mentioned in the Athletic article that ETH would not have bought him if he knew how much we were willing to pay for him?
Amad's perfect partner would be a fitter/younger Martial. Those two would link up beautifully as both have the brain and technique for it.
He had a purple patch, that was it. Apart from that, he regularly went through patches of looking absolutely woeful and contributing nothing other than "workrate".
Fixed it for you. How dare you haahaa
The largest heists in history is the Great Train Robbery, which occurred in England in 1963. But in 30 August 2022, Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax managed to rob Manchester United £82 million for Antony Matheus dos Santos is by far more scandalous than the Great Train Robbery.
Yep. People citing Sancho as an all time bad transfer but it's perfectly defensible. We paid a big fee but not earth shattering for the highest rated young winger in the world that was hitting historical levels of production as a teenager in the BL.
Dude, that would've been awesome. I completely agree. I've said it before but he would've been perfect as the 10 back when the MMM trio were on fire.
I've got a better right leg than him, and mine is currently stuck in a Pepsi can.
I’d like to see the Antony YouTube video that bamboozled ETH.
He was his fecking manager!
But he is not good enough to be our attacking winger and we need to make good use of our 100m investment.... I think he works hard and good at progressive run or something. So it might still works, I don't know.
He watched him every day for 2 years, and thought "yeah i have to have him no matter the price". And people want to still give ETH time
Antony is a Leeds player. Why is he at Man United?
A loan deal might be in order. Let's see what Amad does.
Reminds me of Pepe, an astronomical failure of a transfer. There's no chance we manage to recoup even a third of the fee, think we should look to loan him.
Genuinely, is he the worst, regular starter, player in the PL this season? Must be. He is horrific and the more he plays, the more ETH deserves the sack. Does nothing defensively, does nothing in attack and looks like the biggest smug cnut in NATO. Would love to give him a slap.
He is woeful, you get the feeling he is never going to deliver the goals, assists and creation of chances that is needed. He also slows everything down so much.
Pepe was an atrocious transfer but Antony definitely trumps him. Pepe actually managed 16 goals and 5 assists in his second season. I would be stunned if Antony ended up at best with 5 goals/assists combined this season.
What a waste of money
Bizarre player. Was he that bad at Ajax??? His dribbling is below par, no pace, no right foot, can’t cross, slows everything down. He only works hard defensively (in most games) but this is not even sufficient for bottom PL team.
Yeah Pepe at least mixed in some very good and decisive games with twice as many bad ones. Antony doesn't even have any good games to show for - 0 goals, 0 assists.
It says a lot about Ten Hag as a Manager and his football vision, This is why I think a different manager can get the best out of Sancho.He watched him every day for 2 years, and thought "yeah i have to have him no matter the price". And people want to still give ETH time
They've got a far better player in Dan James
Both were vastly superior wingers than Antony.
Amad showed more than what he did this season. Need to be benched
He was. It's just that the defences in the dutch league are terrible, lots of space for subpar players. 99% of his goals and assists were cutting in and shooting or crossing in acres of space. Almost never dribbled on the outside or took a man on from a standing start.
Lot of hyperbole about him but legitimately, he is the worst player in the league.
I also genuinely, dislike the way he looks too, the way he smiles back towards a teammate every time he fecks up a basic pass.
My opinion and I truly believe this is Antony is either ETH bastard son or he's a dodgy same agency signing/kick back style deal via Ajax.
No reason any professional football person could look at Antony and judge him to be an actual professional level player. It goes to show that for all the experience, stats, tech and research, the industry can still make huge errors like sanctioning giving this human being £200k per week to cosplay a premier league winger.
He's the poster child of this ruinous and bleak chapter in our club.

I tried to support him but he's genuinely useless. Was proper shite today(as he was in most games this season). Even when you get past your defender but then cutback again to just pass the ball back to AWB, you have no business being a winger.
We would be lucky to find a sucker club to move him on to
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.
Just dreadful, even in his best games he's tidy but ineffectual and those are a rare enough occurrence. People talk about the money spent, which is hugely embarrassing and a real issue for the club, but he would be a total flop even if we'd spent a quarter as much. He's nowhere near good enough at any value.
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.
Yeah I don’t think it’s gonna happen here for him.
Gone backwards if anything.
Gone backwards if anything.
69 games on right wing for United. 3 assists in total.. for a winger.
Another huge waste of money.
Another huge waste of money.
Hazard despite being a massive failure at Madrid, has still had a better G+A ratio than Antony has had at United. Same with Coutinho
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.
