Erik ten Hag sends message to out-of-favour winger Antony about lack of playing time at Man Utd

Premier League

Manchester City

Manchester United

<p>Antony has struggled to work his way into Ten Hag's plans this season and has played just one minute of Premier League football, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-brighton-marcus-rashford-casemiro/blt72c7615b11f6482f" target="_blank">coming on as a late substitute against Brighton</a>. The Brazilian contributed just five goal involvements last season in all competitions, and Ten Hag has appeared to question his attitude in training.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ten Hag has an opportunity to rotate his squad when United take on Barnsley in the League Cup in midweek but it remains to be seen if Antony will be given a chance to play. The Dutchman has indicated that performances in training must improve if he wants to receive more minutes.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ten Hag told <a href="https://x.com/samuelluckhurst/status/1835703851782942967" target="_blank">reporters</a>: "We have training every day and the players have to earn the right to play. When players are doing the right things in training, when the attitude is good and they show performance in training then they will earn the right to play."</p>

WHAT TEN HAG SAID

<p>United face Barnsley in midweek before returning to Premier League action against Crystal Palace this weekend. Antony will hope to have at least some involvement. </p>
