      And he was hauled off around the 70-minute mark for the second time in five days.
      Antony contributed just one attempt on goal and one key pass as he struggled to make a difference going forward.

      In fact, he had only one more touch than goalkeeper David de Gea.
      Now Ferdinand has accused the winger of looking a completely different player from his time at Ajax.

      He told FIVE: “He just doesn’t beat anyone and I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Was that always the way?’
      “I’ve seen clips of him when he was at Ajax and he was somebody who used to beat people.
      “I saw Thomas Partey, who I wouldn’t put down as a sprinter, absolutely burst past him, and I’m thinking, ‘Woah, he hasn’t got much power in them legs!’
      “He’s a tricky winger, but with tricky wingers you want them to still be able to beat the defender.”

      Antony enjoyed a memorable start to his United career by scoring on his debut against Arsenal.
      He would go on to find the net in his next two Premier League outings against rivals Manchester City and Everton.
      But the 22-year-old hasn’t found the net in the league since the win at Goodison Park and hasn’t made the impact that some would have hoped.
      Antony did net in the recent cup games with Everton and Charlton though.
      But he was slammed and hauled off at half-time earlier in the season for showboating against Sheriff and has regularly been criticised for his form.
      Gary Neville has also admitted that he wants to see more from the Brazil international.
      He told the Gary Neville Podcast, Neville said: “I wish they had better quality in the final third.
      “Obviously Sancho’s not out there and you would expect that Manchester United would have better options from the bench, but they haven’t at this moment in time.
      “I want to see a little bit more from Antony, to be honest with you.

      “A £90million signing. I think that to have to take him off is a disappointment.
      “You’d like to think that Rashford and Antony could have counter-attacked for United.” More

      United looked to have done enough to earn a point after goals from Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez saw the game level heading into added-time.
      But Nketiah continued his fine goalscoring run by turning home Martin Odegaard’s shot.
      The goal ended United’s 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions and further damaged their already faint title hopes.
      Neville was seen with his head in his hands moments after Nketiah’s goal and Arsenal fans have been taking great pleasure on social media.

      Sky Sports mocked over shocking Wout Weghorst body double as Man Utd ace Photoshopped for team line-up graphic

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and their fans were reportedly left in stitches at an error from Sky Sports concerning their new signing Wout Weghorst.The Dutch striker joined the Red Devils on loan from Burnley earlier this month.
      Sky Sports amusingly used this shocking Photoshop for Wout WeghorstCredit: Sky Sports
      Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot it before the last two matches the striker playedCredit: Getty
      The 30-year-old made his debut during last Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.
      And he led the line for them on Sunday as they suffered a crushing 3-2 defeat to rivals Arsenal at the Emirates.
      However, the Daily Mail has claimed United were left in “bemusement” by Sky Sports, who showed both matches live, and their botched effort.
      Prior to the Palace clash, the TV company doctored up a photo of Weghorst in the club’s colours to show on their starting line-up graphic.

      That is despite United reportedly providing them with everything they needed to show a genuine one.
      But instead of using a real one, Sky instead used photo-editing software and super-imposed the striker’s head onto someone else’s body.
      And many eagle-eyed fans believe that the mystery body, visibly a lot smaller than the 6ft 5in forward, was in fact former United ace Juan Mata, who is now at Galatasaray in Turkey.
      They were also seen wearing Nike boots – with Weghorst sponsored by adidas.

      Sky responded to the Mail’s report by saying they needed to capture the imagery themselves.
      And they added there was not enough time for them to do so before the Palace game.
      However, the same image was also used before the clash with Arsenal.
      They also allegedly refused to inform United of the body “double” used as fans quickly spotted their error.
      One tweeted: “That Wout Weghorst graphic on Sky Sports is the most obvious photoshop ever!”
      Another wrote: “They’ve done Weghorst dirty with that photoshop job there Sky.”
      As a fellow fan asked: “Why did sky Photoshop an old picture of Weghorst on a 5’8 body?” More

      Man Utd lose top transfer guru Tom Keane in huge blow after helping Erik ten Hag with summer rebuild

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been dealt a colossal blow to their transfer plans after reportedly losing transfer guru Tom Keane.Another massive summer lies ahead for United if they are to consolidate the improvements made under Erik ten Hag this season.

      But now Keane has returned to law firm Brandsmiths
      However, with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership following the announcement of the Glazers’ intention to sell, some positions behind-the-scenes face being unfilled.
      According to The Athletic, Keane – appointed on a temporary basis as a replacement for Matt Judge last June – turned down the offer of a full-time position in favour of returning to law firm Brandsmiths, where he specialises in sports contracts.
      During his stay at United, Keane helped to negotiate the transfer deals for Casemiro and Antony.
      This included flying to Spain with football director John Murtough to complete Casemiro’s contract talks.

      But having not worked on any of United’s January deals, Keane’s loss means the club are now missing a vital cog in their transfer negotiation department.
      It is a position the club are hoping to fill by the end of the season.
      The Red Devils have come on leaps and bounds since the start of the season in large part thanks to Ten Hag and the arrival of Casemiro.
      The Brazilian’s suspension for the game against Arsenal proved fatal as United fell to a late 3-2 defeat.

      But United still lack the necessary quality in a number of areas in order to compete with the league leaders and cross-town rivals Manchester City.
      A top-class striker has been made the priority on Ten Hag’s summer shortlist, with Harry Kane his No1 target.
      However, the Tottenham ace is now reportedly open to signing a new contract at the club in a stunning U-turn.
      In terms of club ownership, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has publicly announced his intention to buy United.
      This being said, Britain’s richest man might need to fork out as much as £9billion to buy United. More

      Ten Hag said: “I am annoyed and I told the players if you want to win titles and medals, you have to change the mentality.
      “You are in a top game and you are making such big mistakes.
      “We started the game very well, scored, are leading and then make so many mistakes that are actually unacceptable.
      “You have to feel the game, realise that the maximum we would take from it at that moment was a point and then take that point.

      The Dutchman said: “I think it was the best set-up to win this game.
      “We pressed well. We expected pressing from Arsenal in a slightly different way and we could have read the game better a bit earlier.”
      United must now focus on Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, then they play Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday.
      Ten Hag  added: “The players have to be ready for a big week.”
      Defender Luke Shaw admitted United only had themselves to blame.
      He said: “In the second half, maybe we deserved that.
      “We were a bit passive and we let them control the game. To concede right at the end is gutting.
