Antony 'ignored Erik ten Hag's instruction' for the second time in Liverpool defeat

Antony has been accused of ignoring Erik ten Hag's instructions during Manchester United's 7-0 defeat by Liverpool - something he has already been pulled up on this season.

The Brazilian was one of many United players to fall well-below expectations at Anfield last weekend, but given Antony's astronomical £85million price-tag, the pressure on him to succeed is high. So far, he is yet to justify the huge figure United forked out for him and the drubbing by Liverpool marked one of his lowest points in a Red Devils shirt so far.

Ten Hag did not hold back on his assessment of his players, labelling them as 'unprofessional' and calling into question their work ethic. The Dutchman is reported to have forced the squad to listen to the Liverpool players celebrating in the dressing room also apologised to the Red Devils fanbase.
