Anthony‘s agent has hit back at Ruben Amorim, who has suggested the Brazilian winger has struggled at Manchester United because he lacks the physicality to play in England.

Anthony was sent out on loan to Real Betis last month after falling out of favour under Amorim. But has impressed in Spain, scoring three goals and providing two assists in seven appearances.

The Portuguese has recently suggested that the physical demands of Spanish and English football are a reason. Why Anthony has struggled in England. However, the player’s agent has a different opinion.

“We respect the opinion of Coach Amorim but we completely disagree with his analysis. To say that Antony doesn’t find success at Manchester United. Because of his physique is a superficial argument that does not reflect reality,” Pedroso said.

“The reality is that Antony is not given the importance or the confidence to play his best football. In the 15 games that Amorim took charge of Manchester United, he only used Antony nine times, playing 252 minutes. “

That figure represents only 18.6 per cent of the total minutes he played (1,350). So how can you judge a player’s value without setting a minimum? “

His words, even if he did not mean them, undermine the value of La Liga and the Spanish competition. Spanish football is one of the most competitive leagues in the world. เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย With the top teams reaching the final stages of the Champions League and Europa League. “

The reality is that Antony, since he joined Betis, has become one of the best players in this team and this competition, showing his talent to the fullest when given the right conditions to develop his football. “

This shows that the problem is not physical ability But it’s a matter of context and how he’s been used in Manchester,” he said.

“A lot of players who don’t make it at United have gone on to other clubs, which makes us wonder if the problem is really the players.
