Amad is living up to his pre-season hope and, for now, is forcing Erik ten Hag to admit defeat in one transfer endeavour at Man United.
Erik ten Hag’s transfer trend meant that 80 per cent of Manchester United’s starting defence against Southampton - goalkeeper included - were former Ajax players.
"It is a decision made by more than just one. But, some, you know also players and personalities and it has to fit also in the finance." Substituted on for Amad in the 90th-minute at Brighton, he came on in time to see Joao Pedro score a stoppage-time winner for the Seagulls. And to add to the Brazilian’s frustration, the man he replaced that day is firmly keeping him out of the team.
“I want to step up this season because I am so motivated and I am so excited,” the Ivorian said ahead of the start of the season. So far, so good. Rotation will be necessary and so Antony’s first start of the season will likely come against Barnsley in Tuesday’s League Cup clash, although Saturday goalscorer Alejandro Garnacho, able to play on the right, might want a say on that. But Ten Hag’s little use of Antony up to this point is quite ominous.
