Manchester United legend picks winger club already had who is 'more exciting' than £85m Antony

Manchester United legend Andy Cole believes that Reds youngster Alejandro Garnacho is a 'more exciting' player than summer signing Antony.

Antony has made a decent start to life at Old Trafford following his arrival from Ajax, but the Brazilian attacker - who has registered five goals in 16 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side - has still come under criticism from some former players and pundits for a few underwhelming performances.

The 22-year-old has scored twice in his last two matches - against Everton in the FA Cup third round and Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. United spent £85.5m on Antony in the summer, with Ten Hag desperate to bring his former player to Old Trafford after working with him in the Netherlands.
