Antony Struggles as Manchester United Falls
Antony's Manchester United performance was labelled "horrible" by Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp as the Brazilian struggled to make an impact in their loss to Nottingham Forest.
The 23-year-old was replaced by Amad Diallo after 54 minutes, having failed to assert any authority on the contest.
Manchester United were deservedly beaten, with Antony's goal drought continuing.
Erik ten Hag had hinted that Antony would prosper in a changed United forward line, but the Brazilian failed to deliver.
Antony has failed to come up with a goal or an assist this term, despite being given constant minutes.
The £87million signing has underdelivered and struggled to impact a United side that has fallen short of expectations.
Antony's future at Old Trafford is by no means guaranteed, with the Brazilian having scored only seven goals since his debut against Arsenal last season.
He only came up with one assist in the final seven games of last season, with his most recent league goal coming against Nottingham Forest back in April.
Paul Robinson echoed Jamie Redknapp's sentiment, stating that Antony's touches must be minimal and that he doesn't set the fee they paid for him.
But the minimum you expect from a player is maximum effort, said Robinson.
Antony's performance has been a concern for Manchester United, with the Brazilian failing to make an impact in their recent fixtures.
The Brazilian was brought into the starting XI after Rasmus Hojlund was ruled out through illness, leading to a rejig in the forward line.
Marcus Rashford slotted into a central role with Antony getting another opportunity to address his poor form out wide.
And Antony didn't make the hour mark, having been part of a team that failed to assert any authority on the contest.
So the pressure is on Antony to deliver, with the Brazilian facing a tough task to regain his form and prove his worth to Manchester United.
Antony's goal drought has been a major concern, with the Brazilian having scored only eight goals in total since his debut.
