Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes admits he can understand why Erik ten Hag believes Antony could emulate Dutch legend Arjen Robben over the coming years.
Ten Hag made the admission following United's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon, in which the Brazilian scored one and created another. His first half opener marked his first Premier League goal since October and his eighth for the club.
After a slow start to life in England, the former Ajax ace, who joined the club for a fee north of £85million last summer, has started to find his feet in recent months, stringing together some eye-catching and encouraging performances. He has drawn comparisons to former Chelsea and Bayern Munich ace Robben throughout the campaign because of his desire to cut inside off the right wing and onto his left foot.
