Manchester United have yet to receive value for the “hugely disappointing” Antony, who has yet to contribute to a goal this season.
Tony Casacrino, a former Chelsea forward and talkSPORT presenter, has deemed the 23-year-old to be his “flop of the season.”
Ever since his £85 million transfer from Ajax to the Theatre of Dreams a year ago, the Brazilian winger has struggled for form.
After failing to contribute with a goal or an assist in 12 appearances across all competitions this season, United supporters have grown weary of his efforts.
Earlier this month, when Craven Cottage was substituted in the 1-0 victory away at Fulham, spectators could be heard applauding.
Regarding the Red Devils’ Antony, the legendary Andy Cole recently stated that he would be “absolutely incensed” if he were to doubt his contributions.
In the meantime, cult icon Dimitar Berbatov advised the player to cease engaging in “stupid behavior” if he wishes to continue to be a part of Erik ten Hag’s schemes.
Cascarino has now criticized Antony during his appearance on the Weekend Sports Breakfast for his lackluster performances.
When Natalie Sawyer, a co-host, requested his ‘Flop of the Season’ award thus far, he unceremoniously named the sixteen-cap Selecao international the recipient.
Cascarino criticized the former Sao Paulo ace, stating, “He has been extremely disappointing.
“Antony, who has been a Premier League player for a year and does not appear to have improved since his debut last season, is the type of player I would most likely select.
“Man United paid an exorbitant £80 million for him; therefore, he must become an absolute phenomenon for them.”
“He’s not lived up to that in any shape or form.”
Antony was omitted from Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers during the current international hiatus due to his subpar performances.
Antony will be looking to end his goalless streak away at Everton next weekend; he scored on this turf in a 2-1 victory for United last season.
