‘Chaos becomes more chaos’ – Calling Erik ten Hag “bald egg head”, Antony could be banned for the rest of season

Football — 05/07/2024

Towards the end of the season, Man United becomes more and more chaotic. They ran out of midfielders due to injury. In the match against Crystal Palace, veteran Jonny Evans had to still play despite not passing the pre-match health check. The defense was patchy, and the attack played like “lost souls”, so losing 0-4 to the home team Selhurst Park was understandable.

One of the most disappointing attacking players is Antony. The Brazilian midfielder was almost “missing” on the field for 60 minutes. One shot and no successful dribbles. Antony has been maintaining his form since the beginning of the season until now.

Not only that, Man United’s “blockbuster” is also facing shocking rumors. According to Brazilian newspaper Globo, Antony insulted coach Erik Ten Hag. The Brazilian player called his teacher “bald egg head” – “bald egg head” in the team chat group.

Things became more serious when Antony’s statement was captured and sent to Ten Hag by a certain player. It is unclear what the circumstances and intention of the Brazilian midfielder’s statement were, but it is clearly not the right thing to do.

Globo’s source said the player who revealed it to Ten Hag is Mason Mount. The Dutch teacher is expected to have a private talk with Antony after the match against Crystal Palace ends. It is unclear how the story will develop, but if true, the Brazilian midfielder’s fate at Old Trafford is likely over.

Remember that it was Ten Hag who brought Antony to Old Trafford from Ajax. This player has always been protected by the Dutch teacher for the past 2 years. Ten Hag believes that Antony has talent and needs time to shine.

However, the more time passes, the more fans believe it is not true. This player even got into a scandal related to women off the field. The performance on the field couldn’t have been worse.

If he follows Ten Hag’s “tough with the players” style, Antony will likely receive an internal suspension like Sancho. If he does not do so, the Dutch teacher will seriously lose points in the eyes of Man United players and fans by favoring Antony.
