Antony makes vow to Manchester United fans after FA Cup victory vs Everton

Manchester United star Antony has vowed to Reds fans that 2023 will be a year of conquests following the victory over Everton in the FA Cup third round.

United began the match superbly and were in front inside four minutes. Marcus Rashford's powerful run resulted in a cross which Antony was able to direct past Jordan Pickford. Ten minutes later the visitors were level when a mistake at the front post by David de Gea allowed Conor Coady to prod home.

After the interval, Coady went from hero to zero when he inadvertently turned a Rashford cross into his own goal to put the Reds back in front. Progression to the fourth round was secured in stoppage time when Man of the Match Rashford converted a penalty following a foul on Alejandro Garnacho.

Post-match, Antony took to Twitter to send a message to United fans, telling them it should be "a year of many victories and many conquests". The former Ajax man said: "Many thanks United supporters.

"Very happy to have been able to score, happy to have been able to represent all of you. You can hope it is going to be a year of many victories and many conquests.

"Very happy, very happy for everything and many thanks." United's victory on Friday night means that they are still alive in four competitions this season.

On Tuesday night, the Reds will host League One's Charlton Athletic in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. That is followed by two huge Premier League games against Manchester City and Arsenal as the Reds bid to qualify for next season's Champions League.

In February, United will face Barcelona in a two-legged knockout match in the hope of qualifying for the next stage of the Europa League. Since the World Cup, the Reds have not dropped a single point.
