Signed from Ajax for a staggering fee during the 2022 summer transfer window, the Brazilian player, Antony, has struggled to justify his price tag since joining Manchester United.
His debut season saw him grappling with adaptation challenges, and this season has been even more challenging. The 24-year-old recently notched his first league goal against Burnley, but with just four games left, his overall performance has been lackluster, managing only one assist.
Criticism has been harsh, especially following his controversial celebration during Man Utd’s FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City.
However, Antony maintains that the hefty transfer fee hasn’t affected him at Old Trafford, viewing critics as a source of motivation.
He stated to The Athletic that he recognizes his own value regardless of the money involved and is committed to improving his performance.
Despite distractions, including allegations of domestic violence made by his ex-girlfriend last summer, Antony remains focused on proving himself, especially with reports suggesting his future at Man Utd might be in jeopardy due to the club’s new owners’ desire to offload him.
