He had a better first season than many posters on here will admit. And we didn't buy the finished article, ten Hag and the club knew when we bought him that he still had plenty of growing to do. I remember it was mentioned in a few articles that United recognized that Antony was a signing more for the future.To be fair, Antony debuted for us with the opening goal against Arsenal. He also scored the winning goal against Barcelona which ended our dreadful run of loss to them. So I'm ready to cut the guy some slack and place high hopes on him. He did score in the big occasions, something Lukaku could only dream of even after 2 years with us.
