Antony: I know my potential and why Man Utd hired me

Manchester United winger Antony has opened up on the work he has been putting in to get his form right.

The Brazilian has struggled to show his best self after a promising yet inconsistent first season at the club.

Dogged by form, fitness, and personal issues, Antony has become a backup under coach Erik ten Hag this term.

"It has been a period of a lot of learning," Antony said in an interview with ESPN after United's 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday.

"I try to learn from each criticism, understand where I can improve.

"I have been working silently to evolve and show my football on the field. I have also been training my right foot, to make it better.

"I know my potential and I know why Manchester hired me. I want to repay all of this on the field."
