Despite Antony’s lack of offensive production so far this season, Manchester United winger Alan Shearer has harsh words for him, saying that playing beside him would “do my nut in.”
The winger for Manchester United has been the target of criticism from Alan Shearer, who claims that playing with Antony would be an absolute nightmare.
Because of their shared opponent, Antony, Shearer admits he feels sorry for Rasmus Hojlund, the United striker.
Belonging to the same squad as Antony, according to Newcastle veteran Shearer, would “do my nut in” because he is too predictable.
“On the right hand side you have Antony. He would do my nuts playing with him because you know 99.9 percent of the time he’s coming inside on that left foot,” Shearer stated during an appearance on BBC Match of the Day.
The defenders are aware, and they can take precautions accordingly. Going to the right side of the field every once in a while could make things a bit more complicated, but for a center forward, it’s definitely a challenge.
In 18 appearances for United this season across all competitions, Antony has failed to score or contribute an assist.
Even if he hasn’t produced much, Antony is still an important cog for Erik ten Hag’s team and a mainstay in the starting lineup.

In 2022, United paid Ajax £82 million to sign Antony, making him the club’s second most expensive player ever.
But in 44 games across all competitions last season, Antony managed to score eight goals while only assisting on three.
