Antony’s potential return: Erik ten Hag consideration before Galatasaray clash

In an unexpected twist of events, the talented winger Antony is back in contention for a spot in the Manchester United squad. Manager Erik ten Hag is contemplating his inclusion in the upcoming showdown against Galatasaray, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

 

This development follows a turbulent period during which Antony was sidelined due to allegations of domestic abuse made by his former girlfriend and two other women. However, Antony has recently been questioned by the authorities and, at least for the time being, cleared of the charges.

 

Erik ten Hag provided an update on Antony’s situation, revealing, “Antony will be under consideration for tomorrow’s match. He participated in team training for the first time yesterday.” This positive step signifies a potential comeback for Antony and a fresh start for Manchester United, as they strive to leave behind the off-field distractions and refocus on their football.

 

Ten Hag expressed his optimism regarding the return of the talented winger, remarking, “Having Antony back is certainly good news.” While Antony’s participation in the upcoming game remains uncertain, his involvement in training indicates that he is gradually reintegrating into the squad.

 

The potential return of this star player could offer a significant boost to Manchester United’s attacking arsenal. Renowned for his flair, speed, and creative prowess on the wing, Antony possesses the ability to unlock defenses and create scoring opportunities for his team. Nevertheless, the decision to include him in the matchday squad will likely hinge on his fitness and preparedness to compete at the highest level.
