Antony joined Manchester United last summer as a special request from Erik ten Hag, who had already coached him at Ajax. His transfer cost the Red Devils 90 million pounds.
The Brazilian has failed to live up to expectations, scoring just nine goals in 46 competitive matches this season. Nevertheless, the Dutch boss still has faith in the striker and his abilities.
Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan spoke about the Brazil international and the decisions made by Erik ten Hag in the recent summer and January transfer windows in an interview with 'talkSPORT'.
"Okay, Ten Hag. You should have spent £170m in August and £50m in January would that have suited you better? No, you decided to fire your bolt early and spend £220m in the summer window," he began.
"What have you done with that? One of the huge parts of it was Antony. Because he's c**p. He's £90m worth of c**p. He spent £220m. What he said was the £220m, thank you I'll have that, but what have you done for me lately.
"None of the reasons why I was unsuccessful in January is down to me. I have not made Antony and he has not delivered outcomes, but I got you to spend £90m on him," Jordan said.
