In the 0-1 loss to Arsenal last night on May 12, Antony expressed his dissatisfaction with coach Erik ten Hag when he was moved to a position against his strengths.
Manchester United entered the match against Arsenal with almost all players in the defense having injury problems.
More notably, the camera captured Antony expressing his displeasure when learning of Erik ten Hag’s decision to push him to the left-back position near the end of the match.
Antony was upset by ten Hag’s decision.
In the 70th minute, coach Erik ten Hag withdrew Amad Diallo to make room for Antony.
This indirectly caused the MU squad to have a vacant position in the defense line, and ten Hag decided to push Antony to play there.
Antony had to retreat to support Casemiro and could barely attack.
This is not the first time Antony has had to play in the left-back position.
Antony was not happy playing left back against Liverpool.
That was a victory, and this was a defeat, a defeat against Arsenal was enough for MU to almost lose all hope of participating in the European Cup next season.
Speaking after the match, coach ten Hag was still proud of his students.
The future of the two teachers and students is very unclear at Old Trafford.
According to The Athletic, Antony is determined to stay at Old Trafford to revive his career.
