Erik ten Hag believes that Antony has performed adequately since his blockbuster summer switch to Manchester United in the wake of recent criticism which has been directed at the winger.
After months of speculation, the Brazil international arrived at Old Trafford in a deal which could eventually eclipse £85.5million from Ajax, where he flourished under the guidance of Ten Hag.
The 23-year-old chalked up 12 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for the Dutch giants but has struggled to replicate the same explosive performances that first piqued United's attention since swapping Amsterdam for the Premier League.
