‘Completely disagree’ – Antony’s agent takes aim at Man United boss Amorim | OneFootball

The agent of Manchester United star Antony has on Wednesday made use of the opportunity to aim something of a jibe at Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim.

This, of course, comes amid what has been a stellar start to life away from Old Trafford for the Brazilian.

Antony secured a move to Spain during the January transfer window, linking up with La Liga outfit Real Betis on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

And the former Ajax man has since looked a player reborn.

Already considered a key member of Manuel Pellegrini’s frontline, Antony has racked up five direct goal contributions in seven appearances to date.

With as much having come on the back of a dismal opening half to the term for the winger in Manchester, his agent, Junior Pedroso, has in turn moved to hit back at United headmaster Ruben Amorim.

Drawn on Amorim’s claims that Antony’s Old Trafford struggles can be attributed in no small part to physicality problems, Pedroso told Marca:

“We respect the opinion of coach Ruben Amorim, but we completely disagree with his analysis. To attribute Antony’s lack of success at United solely to physicality is a very superficial argument and does not reflect reality.”
