It has been a mixed start to life in the Premier League for Antony, who has often struggled to impress since joining United from Ajax last summer. There have been a few moments of brilliance from the 23-year-old but his performances have rarely been consistent enough to justify his \u00a382million price tag.<\/p>\n
Antony has regularly been criticised for his a lack of end product, with his tendency to showboat not always endearing him to United fans and pundits alike. He has managed to cut down on the latter aspect of his game in recent months but is still often singled out as a regular underperformer for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n
He came under fire earlier this week when he was slammed by former United striker Andy Cole, who raised questions over whether or not the former Ajax man is good enough to start on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss… <\/strong> “I do understand the criticism he [Antony] faces because he needs to be more productive and Manchester United spent a hell of a lot of money on him and I believe they would have expected a lot more from him,” said Cole.<\/p>\n “I understand that he\u2019s only been in England for one year, so I completely understand that players need time to adapt, but I don\u2019t believe he\u2019s produced enough considering all the opportunities he\u2019s had to play for Manchester United. He needs to do more, it\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n “Let\u2019s put the shoe on the other foot, if this was Paul Pogba, who came for the same sort of money, he would be absolutely berated every week.”<\/p>\n Want the latest Premier League news as we publish it on\u00a0Express Sport<\/i>?
