Erik ten Hag might have discovered the solution to unlock Antony at Manchester United

The roar that greeted Antony's debut goal for Manchester United against Arsenal is unlikely to be a noise that the Brazilian ever forgets.

But aside from seeing that low, accurate, curling effort go past Aaron Ramsdale in the Gunners goal, the 22-year-old's first three appearances in United colours have failed to attract too much excitement. Aside from producing the odd flick here and the odd trick there, he has, in some ways, gone unnoticed.

It was a similar tale against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday evening. He was overshadowed by Jadon Sancho on the opposite flank and, at times, it was easy to forget that he was on the pitch, just as it was against Real Sociedad seven days earlier.
