Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has emphasized that winger Antony must earn his place in the team through consistent training and performance. Despite being the club's second-most expensive signing at £85 million, Antony has struggled to impress, making only one appearance this season. Ten Hag has preferred academy products Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho due to their effective performances. He insists that professional football requires players to fight for their positions, and only those who show the right attitude and performance in training will play. Antony's potential involvement in the upcoming Carabao Cup match against Barnsley remains uncertain as he continues to compete for his spot in the team.
