Manchester United is being advised to sell the anticipated signing of Erik ten Hag in January due to his predictability.

Antony's time at Manchester United has not been as successful as many had hoped. Former coach Rene Meulensteen believes that the club should seriously consider letting go of Antony when the January transfer window opens. This is quite a contrast from the high hopes that surrounded Antony when he joined United in 2022, following his former coach Erik ten Hag from Ajax in a record-breaking transfer deal worth £82 million. However, the 24-year-old winger has not lived up to expectations, scoring just five league goals in his two-and-a-half seasons with the club.

Recent reports have suggested that United are losing patience with Antony and are looking to sell him during the winter transfer window. He has only started one game since new manager Ruben Amorim took over, and it does not seem like he will be turning things around anytime soon. United legend Gary Neville recently named Antony as one of the worst signings in the club's history, and Meulensteen, who worked closely with Sir Alex Ferguson, agrees with this assessment.

In Meulensteen's opinion, United may have no choice but to cut their losses and sell Antony in January. He believes that the Brazilian does not have the necessary qualities to fit into Amorim's style of play. Meulensteen also points out that Antony's struggles are not limited to the field, as his personality has also caused issues within the team. He believes that Antony's time at United has been one of the biggest disappointments in recent years in the Premier League.

Antony did make an appearance as a wing-back in United's recent comeback win against Manchester City, but it seems that this may not be his best position. Amorim acknowledges that Antony is improving in this role, but he will need to work on his defensive abilities if he wants to make it his own. The United boss emphasizes that it is up to the players to prove themselves and earn their spot in the team.

Overall, it seems that Antony has not been able to meet the expectations that were placed upon him when he joined Manchester United. His lack of effectiveness on the field and issues off the field have led to doubts about his future with the club. With January fast approaching, it remains to be seen if United will indeed cut their losses and let go of the Brazilian winger.
