100 million parallel goods have become moldy? Anthony made his season debut in stoppage time! Five minutes later, United were shut

In a key match in the second round of the English Premier League that ended on the evening of August 24, Beijing time, Manchester United was beaten 1-2 away by Brighton. In this game, Brazil winger Antony, who paid a transfer fee of up to 100 million euros, finally made his season debut in stoppage time. Unfortunately, he came off the bench and did not perform and watched the team be killed.


In this game, Ten Hag fielded a forward combination of Diallo, Marcus Rashford and Fernando Fernandes. Zirkze, Garnacho, Scott McTomiah and De Ligt came on one after another, but even though Manchester United urgently needed to score a comeback to get three points, Ten Hag did not consider Antony for a long time. In the first half, when the camera was on the bench, Anthony could only look lonely and gnaw his nails for the entire half very helplessly.


It wasn't until the 90th minute that Anthony came on as a substitute. In just 8 minutes, Anthony barely showed any performance, 0 shots, 3 appearances, 2 passes, 1 key pass, and 1 loss of possession. In addition, he had 1 foul and 1 steal successful, scoring only 6.5 points. What's even more depressing is that just 5 minutes after Antony came on the field, Brighton completed the stunner and gave Manchester United its first defeat, and I have to say that Antony is indeed a little "unlucky".


As a strong reinforcement that Manchester United spent 100 million euros on transfer fees in the summer of 2022, Antony is a handpicked descendant of manager Ten Hag. Sadly, in his two seasons at Manchester United, Antony's performances have not been satisfactory. Only 11 goals and five assists in 82 appearances. Two of those seasons were just five league goals, an efficiency that is really not up for a winger.


Despite Manchester United's desire to sell Antony before the transfer window closes, no suitable offer has been made so far. In the new season, Antony may most likely be abandoned on the bench at Manchester United.
