Antony is in the last chance saloon at Manchester United, with boss Ruben Amorim set to play the £82million signing at wing-back ahead of a decisive January transfer window.
Having endured a increasingly difficult two-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, Antony started new manager Amorim’s first home game in charge. United claimed a nervy 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, having fallen behind to the Norwegian champions.
What I want is a good one against one, to open the field, to play, to close the field when we lose the ball. And it is the same in every team. I think the structure is more fluid than you guys think with the three defenders.”
Amorim, who was successful using a 3-4-3 formation at Sporting Lisbon, added: “Today, we finished today without any centre-backs, so it was Casemiro, [Noussair] Mazraoui and Luke Shaw. I think it is more the characteristics of the players and not the real positions of the players.
