Former centre-back Rio Ferdinand has criticised Manchester United winger Antony after he struggled to impose himself during Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The Brazilian, who joined United for an £85.5million fee from Ajax at the end of last summer's transfer window, struggled to make his presence felt against the Gunners and was taken off and replaced by Fred with just under 20 minutes of normal time left on the clock. He has failed to live up to his hefty-sized price tag so far this season, often going missing in games and not offering enough in terms of an attacking threat.
He has scored five goals in 19 appearances so far this term, two of which were absolute stunners, but his all-round game has left United fans feeling deflated, with his Brazilian flair and trickery rarely resulting in much good being crafted. He struggles to get the better of his markers and make things happen often enough, highlighted by his tally of zero assists this season.
