The Brazilian made a great start after his €100m move from Ajax but the goals have dried up and he is not helping the team
in United’s win over FC Sheriff in the Europa League was mocked in some quarters, but the greater concern is his inability to influence games. He may be young and this is his first season in English football but he is not doing anything particularly well at the mmoment.
He has continued that form this season, creating just eight goalscoring chances in the league for United. To put that in some context, Fred has created 15, Luke Shaw 17, Casemiro 19, and Diogo Dalot 22. United are highly reliant on Fernandes and Eriksen to prise apart opposition defences. With the latter now sidelined until late April at the earliest, Ten Hag needs his winger to step up and fill the void.
When it comes to beating a man, Antony is also struggling. He has completed just 10 of the 31 dribbles he has attempted, a success rate of 32%. Markers are aware of his route to goal. Like with Arjen Robben, defenders know he wants to cut inside and shoot. Yet, while the Dutchman was often impossible to stop and made a career from this manoeuvre, Antony has proven far easier to contain and his impact has been minimal after his bright start.

Balloons provide advantage for military powers in ‘intelligence gathering’Evidence suggests China’s balloons which have recently passed across the United States and Latin America are “engaged in intelligence gathering”, according to ANU’s Professor Donald Rothwell. “Both China and the United States engage in these types of activities, so it wouldn’t necessarily be exceptional that the United States would also be seeking to engage in the use of balloons for intelligence gathering,” Prof Rothwell said. “They allow for much lower elevation, the type of balloon that we’re considering here can operate at around 60,000 ft. “Balloons do offer some of advantage in terms of surveillance and intelligence gathering.”
