only has five goals to his credit.
The Red Devils paid £85 million ($105 million) to Ajax for the South American winger last summer. Prior to a precipitous decline in form, he had a record-breaking start to life at Old Trafford. Now, after 19 matches, he has just five goals and no assists to his credit. His problems persisted throughout United’s 3-2 loss to Arsenal on Sunday, a performance that infuriated a former club legend.
After witnessing the high-priced asset underwhelm at Emirates Stadium, former United defender Ferdinand shared the following statement on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel: “What worries me about someone like Antony is that he is unbeatable, which is remarkable for a Brazilian. He simply doesn’t beat anyone, which makes me wonder, “Was that always the way?” He was a person who used to beat people when I saw clips of him at Ajax.
