      Antony told to copy legendary Man Utd DEFENDER to improve his game by Andrei Kanchelskis as he identifies ‘problem’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Andrei Kanchelskis has told Antony to learn from one of the quiet, unsung heroes of the 1999 Treble-winning team.Brazilian Antony arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax for a whopping £85.5million last summer.

      The winger, 23, has produced a rollercoaster of displays so far for United with his trickery proving to be both hit and miss with supporters and former players who are now pundits.
      Antony has scored six goals for the Red Devils and ex-United winger Kanchelskis has urged the Stretford End to be patient with the Samba star.
      Kanchelskis exclusively told Ladbrokes Fanzone: “My advice for Man United fans is to please just be patient with Antony.
      “I really believe the club have a great player in him – there’s no question about it. His problem right now is finding that consistency. One game he’s great, the next? Not so good.

      “But he’s still so young and I’m confident he can go on to be a success at United.”
      And the now 54-year-old, who also played for Everton, Manchester City, Southampton and Rangers, also advised the attacker to take a leaf out of legendary United full-back Denis Irwin’s book.
      The ex-Russian international said: “Consistency is such a hard thing to find, though.
      “In fact, there’s only one player I can think of during my time at the club, who I can honestly say was consistently good in every single match, and that was Denis Irwin.

      “He’s the only player I know who was at the same level in every game. I would say to all players – including Antony – that Irwin is the level of consistency you should strive for.
      “I’m very lucky to say I played with him; he’s a great guy.”
      Kanchelski added: “Antony needs time, and that’s all I ask of Man United fans: give him time. I’m sure after one season playing in England – which is a really tough place to adapt to and settle in – he can go on to be a real success. Wait for him, please; he’s a great player. 
      “When I first moved to England, it was a completely different experience for me, compared to anything I’d been used to.
      “When I think back to some of the names I came up against, those tough, old-school, English centre-backs, the Tony Dorigos and so on… it was a really tough experience.
      “My English wasn’t the best at the time, but I can remember hearing and understanding exactly what Vinnie Jones said when I first faced him and he called me a f****** w*****!
      “It was a shock to the system so I’d be lying if I didn’t say it took me some time to get used to. But I got there, and I’m grateful for my time in England, and the support I got from Man United and Everton fans.
      “I thank them so much, because I know at times I wasn’t as good as I wanted to be, but they stuck by me… and that’s what I’m asking them to do with Antony.”
      Sir Alex Ferguson signed Kanchelskis from Shakhtar Donetsk in 1991 for £650,000 and he played 123 top-flight matches, scoring 28 goals, throughout his four-year stay and won the title twice and lifted both the FA Cup and League Cup.
      Irish ace Irwin moved to United 12 months earlier than the flanker and was undoubtedly one of Fergie’s greatest ever signings as he proved a snip at just £625,000 from Oldham.

      In 12 years at Old Trafford, he made 296 Premier League appearances and won seven Premier League titles, as well as two FA Cup winner’s medals, a League Cup and the Champions league and European Cup Winners’ Cup.
      He was also an expert at both free-kicks and penalties, and he managed to score 22 league goals for the club throughout that period.

      The winger is still waiting to be handed his first start by Erik ten Hag but has impressed the Dutchman with his cameos from the bench.
      Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that United are now considering offering the Uruguayan a new deal before sanctioning a loan move next season.
      Romano stressed that no final decision has been made but concrete talks would take place in April.
      The 21 year old made his debut in January during the Carabao Cup victory over League One side Charlton Athletic grabbing an assist in the process.

      Pellistri has more recently appeared from the bench during the 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the Europa League and the goalless draw against Southampton last weekend.
      Ten Hag has been impressed by the youngster who could be getting closer to his first start.
      Speaking to MUTV after the Betis victory he said: “He is the example by deserving his position by performance on the training ground.
      “And I said the other day, I did not select him for Liverpool and it was not even totally justified because he was training that well.

      “Now this was his moment to come on because of a longer period he performed in training. What impressed me was he came on and, straight away, showed himself.
      “When they came on, Scott [McTominay] and Pelli, it was 3-1 but 4-1 is huge, to make the extra goal. In the first moment, they did, which was brilliant.”
      Pellistri has had successive loan spells at Spanish outfit Alaves spending the entire of last season in La Liga.
      The winger didn’t find the back of the net in his 33 appearances for the club.
      The Uruguayan international is expected to be one of two players United allow to leave on loan this summer. More

      Tottenham ‘will BLOCK Harry Kane transfer exit this summer and risk Man Utd target quitting club for FREE’

      But the Londoners are not willing to sell the 29-year-old in the summer, according to Sky Sports.
      Kane’s contract expires at the end of next season.
      Talks over a new deal are currently on hold, meaning Spurs may end up running the risk of losing the striker for nothing in the summer of 2024.
      It’s claimed Tottenham have no intentions of letting Kane leave the club this summer.

      Sky claim the forward’s importance to the club is worth more than any potential transfer fee.
      Meanwhile, Manchester United are keen to avoid a long-running transfer saga.
      Reinforcements up front are needed and boss Erik ten Hag would rather bring someone in as early as possible so they can bed in with the squad.
      Although Sky say the Red Devils are keen to explore a deal if Spurs change their stance.

      But a long-running saga with tough negotiator Daniel Levy is not a route the club wants to go down.
      Another option is reportedly going back in for Kane next January.
      If he doesn’t sign a new deal then his current contract would have just six months left to run in January 2024.
      From then he would also be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs, with Bayern Munich keen on the striker.
      It’s said where Spurs finish this season will go a long way to determining whether Kane extends his stay in London.
      And with Antonio Conte seemingly destined to leave, his successor is also important to whether the striker pens a new deal.
      Kane will turn 30 in July and is eager to win trophies, rather than be the centre of another rebuild. More

      They welcome Liverpool to the Bernabeu on Wednesday holding a 5-2 advantage from the first-leg of their last-16 clash.
      However, this summer the club are preparing for major changes to their engine room with veterans Luka Modric and Toni Kroos both expected to depart and Jude Bellingham identified as their top transfer target.
      France international midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is another to have been linked with a move.
      Man United are reportedly willing to smash their club record to sign the 20-year-old, who joined Madrid in 2021 from Rennes for £26m.

      Arsenal are another club believed to be keen on trying to bring the youngster to the Premier League this summer after initially wanting him on loan in January.
      But despite Camavinga not being a regular starter for Ancelotti, the Italian coach is adamant that his starlet is going nowhere.

      He said: “We will not let Camavinga leave, he’s untouchable — like Modric and Toni Kroos.
      “Camavinga is untouchable for us — also in the future I’m sure he will stay that way.

      Meanwhile, a fresh report is claiming that Madrid have submitted their first offer to Dortmund for Bellingham worth around £123m in an attempt to usurp their rivals.
      They claim that it is worth £88m up front with the rest of the package made up in incentives.
      It adds that Bellingham was initially set on a move to the Bernabeu but has since had his head turned by the potential packages available from the Premier League.
      But Madrid now believe that the “whole matter can be resolved in the next international break at the end of March” where the ace is set to be part of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers with Italy and Ukraine. More
