‘I don’t see how he can improve’ – Man United fans losing faith in Antony

Once more antony has neglected to convey for Manchester United, for all intents and purposes vanishing during the 2-0 win against Everton at the end of the week.
Additionally, some supporters are beginning to wonder if the £85 million Brazilian is just another costly transfer error made by Glazer.
Pat Cat (via RedCafe): “3 goals and 0 assists in the league. 0 goals since early October, a drought which has spanned 14 games. Anyone pretending he isn’t a monumental flop needs to wake up and smell the coffee, incredibly average player.”
SmashedHombre: “He’s been poor, but the more worrying thing is I don’t see how he can improve overly much. Not a great dribbler, can’t use his right foot, doesn’t have great physical attributes. Very underwhelmed so far though.”
Cathy Ferguson: “I doubt he will ever reach the heights of the best RWs in the league. He will improve but his lack of pace is his Achilles heel.”
Borys: “He can improve in every way but he won’t improve in every way that would be required to make him a top attacker. This is just unrealistic to expect to improve on speed, weak foot, strength, passing/crossing.”
Nou_Camp99: “Why do we keep overpaying for players who haven’t done anything in the game? I don’t get it. £70m and upwards should be reserved for the sure thing. Paying £85m for a player who had a decent 18 month in a very poor standard league is absolutely criminal.”
UpWithRivers: “He is not good enough. Sure he might be in 1, 2, 3, 4 seasons but the question is do we just carry him for a few years? If he’s not good enough and he needs time, then he needs to be a bench player for a few years.”

Arsenal star reveals injury that cost Gunners Premier League title last season

Arsenal defender William Saliba has acknowledged that his injury setback played a role in hindering Arsenal’s title challenge during the latter stages of the 2022/23 season.
He expressed: “Yeah, it’s clear with me (fully fit), Arsenal could have been champions, but injuries are a part of football“.
“Last year, I had a good season. Unfortunately, I got injured during the year and at the final sprint.”
Saliba, however, shifted his focus to the current season, emphasizing the team’s new ambitions and the hope for improved performance.
He missed the final two months of the Premier League season due to a serious back injury sustained during Arsenal’s Europa League match against Sporting CP in mid-March.
With Saliba’s current injury status uncertain, it remains to be seen if he will be available to play against Bournemouth in their upcoming match.

Christopher Nkunku posts injury update as Chelsea star steps up recovery

Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea‘s summer signing from RB Leipzig, is diligently working on his injury recovery.
The Frenchman has been sidelined with a knee injury since pre-season, which required surgery in early August. His expected return is no earlier than December.
Despite the setback, Nkunku remains in high spirits. He recently shared a photo of himself in his home gym, wearing training gear, and captioned it “Homework.”

Chelsea has felt the absence of Nkunku in their attack this season, struggling to find the back of the net consistently.
Nkunku had an impressive goal-scoring record, bagging 23 goals in all competitions for RB Leipzig last season.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has had to cope with several other long-term injuries, including Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Carney Chukwuemeka, who have all been sidelined for various reasons.

Antony returns to Man Utd training as club confirms he is available for selection

Manchester United has made an announcement regarding Brazilian winger Antony, who is set to return to training.
Allegations of domestic abuse had been made against the 23-year-old, leading to his discussions with Greater Manchester Police.
Following this interview, no restrictions were imposed on him, and he has reportedly provided evidence supporting his strong denials of the allegations. It’s important to note that he has not been arrested or charged in either Brazil or the UK.
In a statement, Manchester United, as Antony’s employer, stated that he will resume training at Carrington and will be available for selection while police inquiries continue. The situation will be continually reviewed as further developments arise.
Antony is not expected to participate in training on Friday and will not be considered for Manchester United’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday.
This decision follows his absence from four games since United granted him leave on full pay to address allegations made by three different women, including his former partner, Gabriela Cavallin.
