Manchester United forward Antony has finally started to do what Bukayo Saka does

The Manchester United dressing room has not been fully fumigated. An associate of one player recently and indiscreetly described Antony as "slow as s--t" with "one trick".

Erik ten Hag described Antony's self-served volley that was converted by Wout Weghorst on the rebound as "a great action". The Brazilian was namechecked among the forwards who can "do something no one expects, some crazy stuff that has to be also in a team's fantasy and adventure".
