“He frustrates his teammates ” Red Legend slams Antony after Manchester United defeat to Nottingham Forest

Peter Schmeichel has urged Erik ten Hag to “rethink” Antony’s position at Manchester United.

The Brazilian was hooked before the hour mark as United slumped to a dismal 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. In truth, Antony could have been subbed off earlier as, once again, he failed to make an impression.

Another ineffective display means the winger has now failed to register a goal or an assist in 15 Premier League games this season. As it stands, Antony is yet to justify the £85.5million fee United forked out to sign him from Ajax 18 months ago.

Last week, former United goalkeeper Schmeichel questioned why Ten Hag chose to sign Antony over Mohammed Kudus. The West Ham United ace has starred under David Moyes in 2023-24, bagging six league goals, having also worked under Ten Hag at Ajax.

“There’s something about that boy (Kudus),” Schmeichel told Premier League Productions on December 23. “He’s special. I don’t get it if he (Ten Hag) knows these boys very well, why did he pick Antony ahead of Kudus?”

At half-time during the Forest defeat, Schmeichel doubled down on his Antony criticism, insisting Ten Hag must reconsider how to get the best out of him. The ex-goalkeeper also claimed the winger has started to “frustrate” his United teammates.

“I really think Erik ten Hag should rethink Antony’s position,” he said. “He doesn’t give much to the team. He frustrates his teammates. It’s really frustrating.”

Man United Team News at Crystal Palace: Shaw, Lindelof, Hojlund, Mount

As the fixture congestion ramps up this late summer/early fall, Manchester United are on the mend.

The following trio could be match fit enough to be in line for selection at Crystal Palace at Saturday: Luke Shaw (calf), Rasmus Hojlund (hamstring) and Victor Lindelof (ankle/foot muscle).

Shaw, Hojlund and Lindelof might be in the squad here, or we might have to wait until the 25th.

Next Wednesday (the 25th) is when United hosts Twente in the UEFA Europa League competition. Whomever doesn’t make the squad this weekend will likely be in the team for next midweek.

And with that in mind, you have another injured United troika, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount, who are all long-term injury absentees.

Mount is out until early October while Malacia is looking at a late October return.

For Yoro, the schedule has a timeline of a November return.

Man United Starting XI Prediction at Crystal Palace

Manchester United did exactly what they were supposed to do, when they thrashed Barnsley FC 7-0 in midweek League Cup action. That’s exactly what a big, rich club must do to a Championship side. Now they’ll have extra added enthusiasm for when they travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday. This has been a very tricky fixture in recent years for United, especially on the road, so manager Erik ten Hag will take it very seriously.

Onana the Hero: Fans can’t believe what Southampton did seconds before penalty vs Man Utd

Fans were left confused after seeing what Southampton players did before their missed penalty against Manchester United.

The Saints were given an opportunity to take the lead at St Mary’s on 32 minutes after debutant Tyler Dibling was brought down in the area by Diogo Dalot.

Cameron Archer stepped up to take the spot kick, but Andre Onana got down well to his right to keep it out.

United then cleared, and scored themselves just two minutes later through defender Matthijs de Ligt.

It was therefore a nightmare passage of play for Russell Martin’s side as they look to register their first point in the Premier League season.

Marcus Rashford then made it 2-0 before half-time with a curling 25-yard finish with his right foot.

But prior to the missed penalty, fans were surprised at what Southampton chose to do.

Ben Brereton Diaz looked as if he was about to take the penalty, but stepped back and allowed Archer to take it instead.

There was then a significant wait before the penalty was taken, with Archer missing from 12 yards.
