'He has no joy': Antony urged to do something he may not like to save Man United career

Louis Saha has advised Antony to add more variety to his playing style. Speaking to BetFred, he said: "It was a tough introduction to the Premier League for him.

"He was able to score a few goals, but now the defenders are aware of his game and read him very well. He has no joy because he’s predictable and as a striker, when a winger is cutting in and putting in a cross, they provide types of balls that are really hard to read and connect with.

"You need crosses that are hit with pace in between the defenders and the goalkeeper and that’s not what Antony is providing. Manchester United now have a striker [Rasmus Hojlund] that’s looking for those types of crosses but Antony isn’t offering those options.

"He needs to do the right things for the team, regardless of whether he likes to do them or not. I, like many other fans, have been really patient with Antony, but now he has to bring more diversity to his game and come out of his comfort zone. If he doesn’t come out of his comfort zone, then what he’s doing currently isn’t going to work for this team."

Antony hasn't enjoyed much success since he moved to Old Trafford.

So far this season, the 23-year-old has failed to register a single goal or assist and has lost his place in the starting XI.
