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.
