Gabriel Agbonlahor says one Manchester United player put in yet another ‘poor performance’ at Old Trafford last night.
Erik ten Hag’s men picked up a 4-2 victory over Sheffield United thanks to a second-half brace from Bruno Fernandes.
United fell behind for the second time in the game just after halftime as Ben Brereton Diaz handed the Blades a surprise lead.
Fortunately for the Red Devils, Fernandes made no mistake from the spot on the hour mark and grabbed his second in the 81st minute.
Rasmus Hojlund wrapped up the win just a few minutes later but it was yet another unconvincing display from United.
And Gabriel Agbonlahor feels there was one United star who particularly struggled on the night.
Agbonlahor says Antony was ‘poor’ against Sheffield United
Antony has made the headlines over the past week after mocking Coventry City’s players following the penalty shootout win at Wembley on Sunday.
Brentford striker Neal Maupay aimed a dig at the Brazilian on Tuesday and claimed even he wouldn’t do what Antony did after the semi-final victory.
Now, Agbonlahor has criticised the United star following his latest display in the Premier League.
He wrote: “Antony subbed after 55 minutes with once again a poor performance! I suppose he’s still celebrating beating Coventry.”
Antony’s stats vs Sheffield United
The 24-year-old started from the off at Old Trafford last night but was replaced by Amad Diallo after a disappointing 55 minutes.
Antony picked up a 6.8 match rating from Sofascore and despite his struggles, he did contribute with a couple of key passes and chance creation.
- 55 minutes played
- 0.06 expected assists
- 34/41 passes completed
- 2 key passes
- 1 big chance created
- 2/4 dribbles completed
- 13 possession lost
- 2 dribbled past
Of course, United went on to score three goals after Antony was replaced and it has to be said it was another underwhelming evening for the former Ajax man.
We’re yet to see the best of the winger since his switch from Holland. This season, Antony has managed just four goal involvements in 35 appearances for the Red Devils.
