Man Utd winger Antony full of praise for young trio

Manchester United winger Antony has sung the praises of his young teammates this season.

The likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho have made a huge impact this term.

Antony told the club's website: "It's certainly been an excellent season for Garnacho.

"He's still a very young lad and full credit to him for his performances. I'm really happy for him and hope he continues doing what he knows how to do with a focused mind and continues helping us marking, making passes and running for the team."

"I'm really pleased for them," he continued. "Willy [Kambwala] is really hard-working, always training hard and I'm delighted with the game he had against Liverpool [the 2-2 draw in the Premier League].

"He had a great game and I congratulated him afterwards.

"Kobbie has had a longer run of games," Antony continued. "He's a huge talent. I see so much talent there and I'm really happy for his performances.

"I've been in the position of these young players – although I'm still only 24, I was also playing at their age as well. With their talent, together with focus, a supportive family and looking after themselves, things will happen naturally for them."
