This article contains affiliate links, and we will receive a commission on any sales generated from it. Manchester United denied that Antony was left out of their matchday squad to face Bournemouth due to a disagreement over being omitted from Erik ten Hag’s starting eleven. Despite showing promise in recent weeks, Antony did not participate in the match.
Bruno Fernandes scored two equalising goals against Bournemouth, with the opposing side also contributing to the score. United lacked creativity in the final third, and the substitution of Amad Diallo highlighted their need for another forward. Antony’s absence fueled speculation, but United emphasized that he missed the match due to injury.
Antony impressed against Chelsea and made an impact as a late substitute against Liverpool, leading to questions about his absence from the Bournemouth match. Reports suggested that he was left out due to an issue after being named on the bench, but United refuted these claims, insisting Antony’s absence was solely due to injury. United’s upcoming match against Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals has raised hopes for Antony’s return at Wembley.
However, questions have also surfaced about the availability of Alejandro Garnacho, who recently acted out against Ten Hag on social media. Garnacho’s behavior on social media following his substitution has led to speculation about his future at the club, given Ten Hag’s past reaction to online antics. The manager may take similar action with Garnacho if an apology and explanation are not provided promptly.
