Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been urged to give up on Antony and sell him now, rather than sticking by him in the hope that he will eventually come good. Antony joined the Red Devils in an \u00a385million deal two summers ago but has failed to justify his hefty price tag since moving to the Premier League. Former Red Devils striker Andy Cole believes that United should use some of the money generated to land Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, who could cost United’s owners around \u00a360m to buy. “Is he an upgrade on Antony?<\/p>\n
Most definitely,” Cole told Betfred. “I read something that Dwight Yorke said about Antony recently, and he claimed that he felt sorry for him, and to a certain extent, I feel sorry for him too. To this day, I\u2019m still unsure why they paid as much as they did for him and you can say he\u2019s young and whatever, but I\u2019m still waiting to see what he\u2019s good at.” Antony has failed to justify his \u00a385m price tag since moving to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
It has been reported that United’s new INEOS backers are looking to sell him and Jadon Sancho for a combined \u00a3100m in order to raise transfer funds. “If Olise does join in the summer, then he can bring a lot more to Manchester United because he\u2019s very direct, he\u2019s creative, he scores goals and he\u2019s prepared to take people on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
