The way Man Utd supporters responded to Antony’s performance against Chelsea speaks volumes.

Fan’s views of Antony’s performance vs Chelsea

The performance of Antony during the Premier League match at Old Trafford pleased United supporters on the social media platform X, which was once known as Twitter.

After observing the Brazil international’s work rate, one fan declared that he would “be an elite LB,” while another argued that Rashford could pick up some tips from him.

One fan commented, rather simply, “Antony’s work rate is fantastic.”

“Antony’s work rate is so impressive,” another person said. Only needs to include the finished product.

How do you feel about Antony’s current Man United performance?

Against Chelsea, he has been working extremely hard.

A third posted: “Antony would really be an elite LB.”

While a fourth tweeted: “Antony is showing something closer to his true level, which is not bad at all (but nowhere near £90m). However, the decision-making holds him back so much.”

“Antony has been immense [against Chelsea],” one X user stated.

And a sixth commented: “Antony’s work rate is what Marcus Rashford lacks.”

Another wrote: “Antony [is] enjoying it. Unusual to see a United forward on that side actually running.”

Ten Hag’s faith in Antony seems to be paying off

Ten Hag worked closely with Antony at Ajax and the United manager has continued to support him in spite of the criticism that has been directed at the player.

Antony, who spoke highly of Ten Hag’s influence, showed exactly why the Dutchman wanted to reunite with him at Old Trafford after his classy display against Chelsea.

The former Ajax winger has struggled with his goalscoring output and assists, but his work rate on Wednesday showed he can offer more than an attacking threat.

Just as Harry Maguire has undergone a redemption story at United this season, it could be Antony’s turn next if he keeps up his stellar performances in a Red Devils shirt.
