Manchester United icon Paul Scholes has tipped Jadon Sancho to step up and replace Antony if the injured winger is unable to play in Manchester United's FA Cup final against crosstown rivals Manchester City in June.
Antony was taken off on a stretcher during United's 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea on Thursday evening after injuring himself tussling with Trevoh Chalobah for possession.
Although the Chelsea defender's challenge on the ball was clean, Antony appeared to drag and twist his ankle whilst propelling himself in the penalty area.
Erik ten Hag described his former Ajax player's injury as 'serious' after the final whistle, and warned that the club would have to wait 'a minimum of 24 hours' before knowing whether the accident had put a premature end to the Brazilian's season.
