Manchester United's victory over Everton in the FA Cup on Friday night was another example of the positive impact that Erik ten Hag has had since his arrival at the club. It was a great evening for everyone involved with the club - and saw Antony register his fourth goal in Red shirt since joining from Ajax.
After scoring three times in his opening three Premier League matches, the Brazilian winger was expected to kick on and flourish at Old Trafford. Instead, it has been a difficult few months for the 22-year-old, who, until scoring against the Toffees on Friday, had failed to find the back of the net since early October.
Antony has missed five matches through injury this term and has made just 15 appearances in all competitions. With the player having joined in a deal rising to €100million, he is always going to be under scrutiny to perform for United. In recent weeks, the attacker has been told that he's got a way to go in order to prove he was worth the sum the club paid for him.
