It looks like Antony’s return will come sooner than expected. Antony agreed with Man United not to return from Brazil, to resolve sexual abuse allegations. But he finally returned to training with the club last week and Erik ten Hag announced the possibility of the Selecao international returning to the field for the match against Galatasaray.
This shows that MU is in dire need of the services of the 23-year-old winger. Antony moved to Man Utd last season. He appeared in a total of 44 matches, scoring 8 goals and assisting 3 others. Although it has not met expectations with the 95 million euro price that Man Utd paid for Ajax, Antony is still Mr. Erik Ten Hag’s favorite choice.
In the upcoming match, MU will not have the services of a series of digital stars such as Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad, Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho for many reasons.
Besides, defender Sergio Reguilon is still absent due to injury. At yesterday afternoon’s training session, this player was also not present on the MU training ground. Sharing about this case, the Red Devils captain said: “When you don’t have a left-back, you have to change and we did the same.”
The competition between MU and Galatasaray will take place at 2:00 a.m. on October 4, Vietnam time. This is considered to be not an easy match for coach Erik ten Hag and his team even though they are playing at home.
The Turkish team is currently on a proud 14-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. Galatasaray’s attack also worked very effectively, scoring consecutively in the last 10 matches. Therefore, if they maintain their form, the away team has every right to dream of 3 points in the upcoming trip to Old Trafford.
