Manchester United winger Antony has posted an emotional message on social media.
The former Ajax star has struggled badly since moving to Old Trafford in September 2022 for a fee in the region of £80million. The Brazilian has scored 11 goals and provided five assists across all competitions.
Antony has been heavily criticised during his time in Manchester, with one recent example coming in the aftermath of United's recent FA semi-final victory over Coventry City. The 24-year-old was seen cupping his ears to the Coventry City players moments after Rasmus Hojlund scored the winning penalty in the shootout. He later explained that his reaction was due to the club's fans being provoked by a Sky Blues player.

"Overcoming exhaustion. Overcoming challenges. Believe it is always possible to do more," he said on Instagram alongside pictures of him working out with gym equipment.
Manager Erik ten Hag has defended United's forward on several occasions. The Dutchman labelled his former Ajax player as 'unstoppable' when at his best.
"Antony: I backed him for a long time," Ten Hag said in February. "I know his abilities and he has great abilities. When he plays like I know from the past he is unstoppable, no defender can stop him because he's one of the quickest players in the first 10 yards.
"When he plays that game he will perform. I'm sure he will do for the future, I'm sure he is resilient, he is a character and he will fight back and I back him. He now has to wait for his chance and once he is there he has to pick up."
