MANCHESTER UNITED fans have told Antony to hit back at Erik ten Hag after he gave him a Jadon Sancho-style dressing down.
The United boss was asked about Antony’s role in the squad and whether he will play against Barnsley on Tuesday, having featured for just one minute this season.
Ten Hag said the Brazilian has to earn the right to play and hinted he is not doing enough in training – a similar accusation he made of Sancho this time last year.
He said: “We have training every day and the players have to earn the right to play.
“When players are doing the right things in training, when the attitude is good and they show performance in training then they will earn the right to play.”
Fans have pointed out the similarities to the public dressing down he gave to Sancho.

Last season, Ten Hag claimed the winger was not picked against Arsenal because of his “performances in training”.
Sancho hit back accusing the Dutchman of telling lies, and claimed he was being made a scapegoat.
Ten Hag reacted by banishing Sancho from first-team training.
He was shipped out on loan to Borussia Dortmund before joining Chelsea on loan this summer.

And despite Sancho’s harsh treatment United fans have told Anthony to send Ten Hag a similar message.
One fan said: “Antony bro. Personally I wouldn’t have this, you’re actually justified in publicly backing yourself.
“I suggest using the notes app to really express how you feel.”
Another added: “Me personally I would release a statement denying this @antony00 but that’s just me.”
A third wrote: “Sancho would be in his notes app typing an essay as we speak if this was about him.”
And another commented: “Waiting for Antony’s social media post.”
