ANTONY registered a contender for “miss of the season” against Southampton.
The struggling winger came off the bench with United trailing 1-0 against the bottom-of-the-table Saints.
Alejandro Garnacho squared the ball to Antony, but he missed.
Fans reacted furiously online, with one exclaiming, “I can’t believe he’s missed it!” 😳
Antony sent the Old Trafford crowd and fans into a frenzy after his shocking miss from just a few yards out.
Garnacho, who had squandered a chance of his own in the first half, passed the ball to Antony. However, the Brazilian seemed to slip and ended up sending the ball sideways, back the way it came.
Angry fans online showed no mercy, with one asking, “How has Antony not scored?”
Another vented, “Antony, maybe this sport just isn’t for you.”
One added, “I have so many questions… Why go to ground? Why lead with your knee? And how does Antony miss that? Miss of the season?”
Another joked, “What a block by Antony.”
Antony was signed by former boss Erik ten Hag from Ajax for £85.5 million, but he has struggled with form, managing just 12 goals in United colors.
United needed a late hat-trick from Amad Diallo to come from behind and win the game 3-1.
