Manchester United is facing a challenging period with fresh allegations of assault against Antony, leaving Erik ten Hag‘s side in a predicament.
Antony’s absence due to these allegations has created a void in the team’s lineup.
In this article, we will explore the options available to replace Antony and maintain Manchester United’s performance in the Premier League.
1. Bruno Fernandes
One viable option is to deploy Bruno Fernandes on the right wing, a position he previously occupied during Antony’s absence. However, this move risks pushing Fernandes too far from the action, limiting his influence. It also doesn’t fully utilize his strengths as a No. 10 or 8. While Fernandes has shown versatility, this may not be a long-term solution.
2. Jadon Sancho
Despite a rocky relationship with Ten Hag and underwhelming performances, Jadon Sancho can seize this opportunity to prove himself. Antony’s leave opens up a spot for Sancho to showcase his talent. The key question is whether Ten Hag can reconcile with Sancho and harness his potential.
3. Alejandro Garnacho

Alejandro Garnacho, an emerging talent, presents an exciting option. Although more effective off the bench, his goal-scoring ability and potential on the left wing could be a solution. With Marcus Rashford on the left, Garnacho might find his place on the right.
4. Facundo Pellistri
Facundo Pellistri, who returned from loan, offers another option. While inexperienced, his quick dribbling skills make him a valuable asset. With Ten Hag’s trust, he could step up and contribute.
5. Mason Mount
Mason Mount, versatile and hardworking, could fill the void. While more comfortable in midfield, his past success on the right could be tapped into. His defensive capabilities can compensate for Antony’s absence.
6. Marcus Rashford

Lastly, Marcus Rashford, a natural winger, can switch to the right. His pace and quick feet make him a valuable asset in this role.
7. Scott McTominay
Scott McTominay, often deployed as a holding midfielder, has excelled in an attacking role for Scotland. Giving him a chance on the right could be a surprising but effective move.
