Manchester United's Antony is backed to succeed by the player he replaced at Old Trafford, who hails the Brazilian as a 'great player' and 'beautiful person'

Antony has been backed to eventually come good at Manchester United due - in part - to his 'great' ability and 'beautiful' personality by Anthony Elanga.

The Nottingham Forest winger saw his game time at Old Trafford limited before being shipped out of the club last season following the Brazilian's arrival.

Antony endured a lacklustre maiden campaign before sinking to even greater depths this term, providing just two goal contributions that both came during an FA Cup win against League Two Newport County.

Despite his former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag shelling out £86million to bring him to Manchester in 2022, it appears even the Dutchman has lost faith in the tricky winger, now opting to deploy Alejandro Garnacho in his place on the right.
