Manchester United’s 1-1 draw in opposition to FC Twente within the Europa League raised query marks over the long-term futures of multiple particular person at Outdated Trafford.
Erik ten Hag’s males began the sport on the entrance foot and led by Christian Eriksen’s first-half purpose. Nonetheless, as the sport progressed, United’s lack of management and ineffective directness allowed the guests to search out some confidence, and ultimately the equaliser by Sam Lammers.
The Purple Devils have mustered simply three wins of their eight video games throughout all competitions this season. Ten Hag is now in his third 12 months at United, and certainly such inconsistent performances are going to heap additional stress on INEOS to deal with the managerial state of affairs sooner relatively than later.
Curiously, the Dutchman isn’t the one determine who seems on borrowed time in Manchester.
Heading into the brand new marketing campaign, Ten Hag’s disastrous file signing, Antony insisted this season “might be completely totally different.”
Issues have seemingly modified — however for the more serious. The rise of Amad Diallo has additional pushed the ex-Ajax star down the pecking order.
Ten Hag has solely handed Antony a minute of Premier League motion. His solely begin of the season got here within the League Cup in opposition to Barnsley, whereby he bagged a purpose from the spot. Nonetheless, that show did little to enhance his state of affairs on the membership.
Amad has made the right-wing place his personal this time period, and at any time when the United gaffer has tried to combine issues up, he has positioned his belief in Alejandro Garnacho, a pure left-winger, to cowl the world.
Towards Twente, when his aspect had been desperately seeking a second purpose, Ten Hag took off drained Amad and surprisingly pushed Bruno Fernandes on the fitting flank as a substitute.
Antony remained an unused substitute.
Late in the summertime window, it emerged United blocked Actual Betis’ strategy for Antony, suggesting Ten Hag nonetheless counts on his signing, as a squad participant, if not a starter.
Nonetheless, contemplating how he ignored the 24-year-old in opposition to Twente, it appears Antony has no future at United in any function.
