MUN 3-1 ARS: Antony’s Debut Performance Highlights What Man United Can Expect From Him This Season

Man United were looking to make it 4 consecutive wins when they hosted Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday evening.

Man United were taking control of the game in the opening 10 minutes, but Arsenal responded and even had a goal ruled out due to a foul on Eriksen. Despite Arsenal’s dominance, Man United took the lead when they worked it well from defence to attack before finding Antony in acres of space who finished superbly to give Man United a 1-0 lead at half time.

Arsenal started strongly in the second half and got the equaliser when Dalot’s intended defending with Jesus through on goal led to Saka slotting the ball in the 60th minute. However, 2 goals from Marcus Rashford ensured Man United claimed all 3 points against Arsenal.

Although Antony was not the standout performer for Man United, he scored what was his first goal in his debut game for Man United. Also, with his presence, Ten Hag’s tactics worked to perfection as Man United worked it from the left before Rashford found Antony for the goal, something very familiar with the way Ajax played under Erik ten hag.

This was the usual goal he scored while he was at Ajax and that is just a glimpse of what Antony has to offer. He also took a speculative curling shot that sailed over the bar, but that shows a sign of what Man United can expect from their £85 million man.
