EPL: Ten Hag Backs Antony to Bounce Back and Fight for His Position

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expresses confidence in Antony's ability to regain form and compete with young talents, emphasizing the expectation for all squad players to fight for their positions.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has thrown his support behind under-fire winger Antony, urging him to bounce back and reclaim his spot in the team.

“Antony has to bounce back and he has the ability to do it,” Ten Hag stated. “If he is doing the right things, he can make competition with the young talents we have.”

Antony has faced criticism for his recent performances, but Ten Hag believes the Brazilian has the quality to turn things around.

“Antony is fighting, fighting for his position,” Ten Hag added. “That's what we expect from every player who is in the squad at Man United, what they should do.”

Ten Hag's comments suggest that Antony still has a key role to play at Old Trafford, but the manager's emphasis on competition and fighting for positions indicates that no player's spot is guaranteed.

With young talents emerging and competition for places intensifying, Antony will need to rediscover his form to cement his place in Ten Hag's starting lineup.
