This is one of the big disappointments for Manchester United at the start of the season. Not spared from extra-sporting affairs, Antony struggles to show the extent of his talent on the field. Author of a delicate start to the year since he returned to the Mancunian group, the Auriverde international is the polar opposite of what he used to show when he officiated in the Netherlands with Ajax Amsterdam . As a result, criticism abounds against him. The latest to speak out about it is Dimitar Berbatov. Urging the player to favor simple play, the former Manchester United striker (149 matches, 56 goals between 2008 and 2012) was not kind to the native of Osasco.
“Antony must understand that every time he steps on the pitch, he must justify the trust that Erik ten Hag has in him. You trust me, I don’t want to disappoint you or the team. But so far things aren’t going well for Antony, so my advice is to play simple, don’t complicate things.”suggested the former Monegasque before smashing the Brazilian. “When you start thinking you are Ronaldinho or Zidane when you are struggling in matches, you are going to suffer even more. Don’t try to do stupid things that don’t help the team. You’re so fast, you use it to start making assists and scoring goals.”he ended up concluding, comments reported by In Bola.
