Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag reveals specific Antony plan for Nottingham Forest clash as Brazilian winger comes in for Rasmus Hojlund

Ten Hag has explained that he is hoping to exploit space in behind the Forest defence to make the most of his Brazilian winger's threat in behind. Antony has struggled for form since his blockbuster move to United last season and has struggled again this term.

Speaking to MUTV before the match, Ten Hag said: "[Antony] will have a good feeling. It is also a good opportunity for him to show that we have coached a lot and trained a lot about runs in behind, and we expect that from all [players] but especially the front line."

Antony is yet to score a single goal or register an assist this season. However, he may feel more positive today given his last goal for the Red Devils came away at Forest in April.

After facing Forest, United make the short trip away to Wigan in the FA Cup third round in what is the final chance for Antony and Ten Hag to win silverware this season.
