he’s mistake always cost us the win” The Manchester United player who “hasn’t shown big potential” has received a warning from Erik ten Hag. Erik ten Hag holds him responsible for the defeat that Manchester United experienced.
The squad under Ten Hag’s leadership currently sits in sixth position in the Premier League standings, trailing eight points behind Aston Villa, who hold fourth place.
Following a disappointing group stage exit in the Champions League, Manchester United’s aspirations of European glory turned into a nightmare, finishing below Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen, and Galatasaray.
Despite this setback, Manchester United has shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, enjoying a seven-match unbeaten streak before succumbing to a defeat against Fulham.
A late goal by Alex Iwobi sealed United’s fate at Old Trafford, handing Marco Silva’s team a memorable 2-1 victory.
Throughout the season, much scrutiny has been placed on winger Antony’s performance, having only contributed one goal and one assist in 25 appearances. Ten Hag acknowledged Antony’s need to step up, stating that the Brazilian has yet to fully showcase his potential.
Regarding Antony’s progress, Ten Hag remarked, “He needs to prove himself, and he will. He possesses immense talent, but he hasn’t fully demonstrated it yet. However, I have faith in his abilities, and it’s a matter of him showcasing them.”
Furthermore, Ten Hag emphasized the competitive nature within the squad, indicating that opportunities are available for players like Antony and Diallo, who has impressed in training since returning from injury.
Omari Forson’s positive development adds depth to the squad, offering flexibility in various positions, including the center forward role, where Marcus Rashford may not be the sole option.
Looking ahead, Manchester United gears up for a crucial fixture against local rivals Manchester City next Sunday, marking their return to action following the international break.
