As reported by the club’s official website, Manchester United has received a significant injury boost with Antony back in full training with his teammates ahead of Friday’s FA Cup third-round match against Everton.
The Red Devils have been affected by unfortunate injuries throughout the season, and the Brazilian missed this week’s 3-0 Premier League victory over Bournemouth due to an injury issue.
The situation has not received any further updates from Erik ten Hag, but Antony appears to be ready to return tomorrow after being seen participating in team practise on Wednesday.
Donny van de Beek returned to the starting lineup for the Cherries in Antony’s absence and he filled the number 10 position. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes played on the right wing. Antony should make a comeback on the right flank against the Toffees if he is fully fit. The Brazilian needs to score soon because there are important Premier League games coming up.
Three goals in six appearances gave him a stellar start at United, but he hasn’t scored in his last eight games. Antony has missed some easy opportunities to score.
After spending time together at Ajax, the 22-year-old is undoubtedly Ten Hag’s favourite player. He has the support of the manager and a regular starting spot. The Toffees recently lost a lopsided 4-1 home match to Brighton & Hove Albion, continuing a terrible run of form in the Premier League. United have the best chance to exert more pressure on their league rivals.
