Has Antony silenced his haters? 🤫 #shorts
498Antony had missed United’s last four games through injury, while also facing questions of his contribution to the collection cause, but delivered when it mattered most against Barca.
The same could not be said for Dutch striker Weghorst, who admits that he could have few complaints at being hauled off. He said of lasting just 45 minutes against Barca: “Of course we were not satisfied, he [Ten Hag] was not satisfied. It was not the way we wanted to play. We didn’t do the things that we wanted. [Ten Hag wanted] more energy, more belief, more fight – fighting our way back into the match and creating good momentum, good atmosphere, good feeling. And I think second half, Antony came in, great of course. I think also the match-up that was needed. We knew they were vulnerable in the back, the runs in behind, that was something we couldn’t do like we wanted in the first half. So unfortunate for me today, but I think the second half was a great one for us and a really good result.”
The Red Devils found themselves trailing a heavyweight Europa League knockout play-off round encounter at Old Trafford heading into the interval, with Robert Lewandowski converting an early penalty. United hit back after the break, though, with Antony’s introduction in place of the ineffective Weghorst proving decisive as he grabbed a 73rd-minute goal which ultimately settled the tie and saw Ten Hag’s side progress 4-3 on aggregate.
