'They say he only has one trick but..': Ten Hag names one famous footballer Antony reminds him of

Speaking on Antony’s impressive display in Man United’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, Erik ten Hag said: “I’m very happy with Antony.

“His start in the game wasn't that good. I think twice he had to make another choice to bring the ball to Eriksen in a cutback. But after he came into the game and he was continually a threat for the opponent.

“He is so good on the inside. So I've seen for instance Arjen Robben a lot. They say he has only one trick but that one trick was so brilliant no one can stop it.

“He had moments when he should have passed to Eriksen. Top football is about timing to bring the pass, it makes the difference between a goal or no goal. He was on the right spot to make the rebound. Second was a great team goal, the movement from Diogo.”

Antony produced a really clutch performance to ensure United didn’t miss the presence of Marcus Rashford, scoring as well as setting up a goal each. In doing so, he also picked up his first Premier League assist – the first of many we hope!
