Troy Deeney has called on Man United boss Ruben Amorim to cut ties immediately with Antony

Troy Deeney has urged Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to promptly offload one player following yet another disappointing performance in Thursday's loss to Tottenham. The individual in question has consistently failed to meet the high expectations associated with his substantial transfer to the Premier League in 2022. Fans of United frequently express their dissatisfaction with the winger's lackluster performances, citing his inadequate contributions and inability to match the pace of the English top tier.

                   Deeney suggested that the club should part ways with Antony, the £85 million Brazilian player inherited from the Erik ten Hag era. "Once Manchester United substituted Antony, the rest of the team began to show more urgency," Deeney remarked to CBS Sports. "They need to sever ties with him. While I do not wish to make him the scapegoat, it is genuinely frustrating to watch him play. Antony had a rare starting opportunity against Tottenham but failed to make a significant impact on the match. "This was his chance to shine.

He does not run or sprint—he simply needs to be removed from the squad. If you are letting go of Marcus Rashford, we would even be willing to pay for someone to take Antony off your hands as well." United's Carabao Cup journey ended at the hands of Spurs on Thursday night, with defensive mistakes proving detrimental in a 4-3 defeat. At one point, the Red Devils found themselves trailing 3-0 with little hope of recovery but were given a lifeline when Fraser Forster made two critical errors within seven minutes, narrowing the deficit to one with 20 minutes remaining.
