Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag explains why Antony can be the new Arjen Robben

Erik ten Hag believes Antony can emulate Arjen Robben at Manchester United after he ended his Premier League goal drought. Antony claimed his first league goal since October 9 in the 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest, where the Brazilian also tallied his first Premier League assist for Diogo Dalot's 76th-minute clincher.

The 22-year-old has now scored eight times for United in his debut season, having arrived in an £85.51million deal from Ajax on transfer deadline day in September.

Antony has drawn tentative comparisons with Robben, a left-footed right winger renowned for cutting inside onto his left foot during a garlanded career in which he won honours with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
