Man United manager Erik ten Hag has challenged Antony to build on his performance against Chelsea, starting against Liverpool on Sunday
Erik ten Hag has hailed Antony 's performance in Thursday's Premier League defeat to Chelsea - but challenged the winger to produce similar performances more regularly for Manchester United.
However, Ten Hag's side were unable to hold on to a valuable three points in West London for the second consecutive game as Cole Palmer's late double consigned the Reds to a gut-wrenching 4-3 defeat. Antony has struggled for form since moving to Old Trafford in a £86m deal from Ajax in 2022 and was handed just his 12th Premier League start of the season on Thursday, with Marcus Rashford named on the substitutes' bench.
"Maybe in the start, we have seen glimpses in the first three games where he scored three goals. But after that, incidentally, like against Barcelona last season where he scored the winning goal. But he's capable of it. On Thursday night, I saw the Antony I want to see." "You don't want to come out of bed today but you have to, you have to get out and focus on the next game," added the Dutchman, who has lost just one of his four fixtures against Liverpool since being appointed United boss. "We have to learn again the lesson, the negative lesson. But also we can take positives from it. We put ourselves in a winning position but we have to take the win over the line.
