Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag admitted that he was pleased with Jadon Sancho's contributions from the attacking-midfield position during Sunday's goalless draw with Southampton at Old Trafford.
Why Antony came on at half-time for Manchester United in Barcelona comeback win
24.02.2023 - 07:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag has hailed Antony after his huge contribution from the bench in Manchester United's win against Barcelona in the Europa League last night.
The 23-year-old scored the winner, as second-half goals from him and compatriot Fred overturned the scoreline following Robert Lewandowski's first-half penalty.
Antony made a huge impact on his return from injury after missing the last four matches, and his manager was delighted with the immediate contribution he made against a top side.

Ten Hag was not only happy to see him on the scoresheet thanks to his sweetly struck shot, he was also delighted with the direct approach the former Ajax ace brought to the proceedings.
"I know he can deal with it (the pressure)," he said in his post-match press conference. "He is brave, he is fearless, so I think what he brought second half was what we needed, running in behind and dribbles and his goal. He is brave and will go with it and when he has the opportunity he will shoot."
It was another statement performance from Ten Hag's side as they continue to make huge progress this season, but the Dutch manager isn't getting carried away yet.
United are yet to win anything yet, and although they face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final this weekend, Ten Hag wants his side to focus on the task in hand.
He added: "You need a strategy to build that but also you need results to get that strong belief. I think this is another step. When you can beat Barcelona one of the best teams in this moment in Europe then your belief can be really strong then you are able to beat anyone."
