‘Intimidated by power and pace’: fans name one Man United star who’s not suited to play in the Premier League

Manchester United’s 2023/24 season went from bad to worse on Sunday with a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal.

Antony, who came off the bench in the second half at Old Trafford, failed to contribute anything of substance for the team.

And some Man United fans are convinced that the 24-year-old Brazilian simply doesn’t have what it takes to play in the Premier League at high level.

aeh1991 (all reactions via RedCafe): “It’s ironic and sums up this season how our worst player is the one who’s never injured.”

RedDevilCanuck: “He’s completely intimidated by the power and pace of the league. It makes him hesitant. Sometimes he’ll be on the break with lots of space and he’ll inexplicably slow down and turn. He’s afraid of being chased down.:

Nori-: “Possibly our worst signing ever. What makes him doubly unlikable is the arrogance he gives off, like he’s a player at the top of his game. Can’t wait to see the back of him.”

Sky1981: “Whoever sanctioned this move needs to get sacked. There’s Juan Sebastian Veron, who doesn’t actually fit the EPL and our style of play but still a classy player, and there’s Antony.”
