Man United paid 90 million for Antony, now Rio Ferdinand thinks it was a mistake

Antony has been one of the most expensive transfer that Manchester United has completed under Erik ten Hag, but he has also been one of the players that are yet to turn up his performances with the red devils.

The fact is that when a player arrives to a team for 90 million euros it is expected that he would become one of the best players on that team, but in the case of Antony, most of the Manchester United are expecting a lot more from him, and despite him having the full confidence of Ten Hag, he still needs to turn things up in this current season.

“He is getting the ball 1v1 so many times in the game and as a fan you are thinking, “Beat him, man” where some of the words of Rio Ferdinand while talking to the FIVE Youtube channel. ”He did it once in this weekend (against Nottingham) where he took it on his right foot and outside and crossed it and created a chance, and I was thinking, “So you can do it… I want to see it more” Rio Ferdinand added to the interview.

“The power. I do not see it. I do not think he has the power in his body at the moment so I would like to think he is working on his power… I want output. I want chances created. I want the fullbacks coming off the pitch, hurting.” where the last words of Rio Ferdinand regarding the way that Antony has played this past season and this first games.

Antony replacement

Now there is a very large group of Manchester United that agrees with Rio Ferdinand, and they are also expecting to see Jadon Sancho being given another chance to actually win the starting position over Antony.
