Coach Erik ten Hag revealed why winger Antony was only on the field for 90+9 minutes of Man United’s 1-2 loss to Fulham.
Man United was unhappy after losing 1-2 at home to Fulham; Alex Iwobi’s goal in the last minutes of stoppage time in the second half ruined the Red Man’s recent excellent run. Despite Rasmus Hojlund’s injury, coach Erik ten Hag did not offer Antony an opportunity to start.
As a result, the Dutch coach started Omari Forson, who was making his Premier League debut. This youthful talent was on the field for 52 minutes, but Antony was not given a chance after that.
Man United’s 100 million euro deal only came into effect in the 90+9 minute, replacing Victor Lindelof. Coach Erik ten Hag also stood up to explain why Antony was used so late, stating that it had nothing to do with physical strength. I should let him appear for his birthday.”
Antony is healthy, but we have choices on the right side. We have all witnessed Antony’s form, and he must improve. I see it in training, but Omari, Amad Diallo, and the rest of the Garnacho deserve to play.”
With the lineup we had today, we should have won this game. We started poorly in both halves; players need to be more proactive and stronger from the outset.”
