‘Antony Is Making Progress’ Says Man United Manager Erik ten Hag

Ten Hag was unsurprisingly happy with Antony’s impact against Forest but admitted the winger’s performance in the East Midlands did not get off to the best start and urged him to make better decisions in the final third.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the United manager said: “We need more goal-scorers and I’m happy with Antony. He scored a goal, gave an assist.

“His start in the game wasn’t that good. I think twice he had to make another choice to bring the ball to [Christian] Eriksen in a cutback. But after he came into the game and he was continually a threat for the opponent.

“He’s definitely making progress. Against Everton he created many chances and misses and so I’m happy for him today that he scored.”
