Antony vows to score more goals and assists

He has brushed aside rumours of a potential departure and is focused on proving his worth in the red shirt.

"This season will be totally different," the 24-year-old asserted, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
"Rest assured, you'll hear the name Antony in relation to goals and assists!"

With Erik ten Hag favouring Amad Diallo on the right wing during pre-season, Antony faces stiff competition for his place in the starting lineup.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Manchester United's 2024/25 season began on a disappointing note with a defeat to Rosenborg, and the club’s fans have bashed manager Erik ten Hag for the defeat.

The Dutch manager, who featured five first-team regulars from last season, lost by a last-minute goal by Noah Holm.

Though it was only a friendly match, the result drew significant criticism from both Ten Hag and the fans, particularly since the Premier League team conceded more than 20 shots during the game.
