Antony celebrated his 24th birthday on Saturday, with his team representing "Manchester United" losing 1:2 at home to the "Fulham" team.

Despite Rasmus Hojlund's injury, the 24-year-old Brazilian did not receive much of a chance. He stepped onto the field in the 99th minute and could not make a significant difference.

After the match, interesting situation with Antony was commented on by "Manchester United" coach Erik ten Hag: "He has to prove himself and he will do it.

Antony has a lot of potential, which he has not shown lately, but I know what his talent is.

He just needs to prove his talent. Here, at the "Manchester United" club, you will always have a lot of competition," the Dutchman said about his acquisition.

About the match itself, the "Man Utd" coach said: "The team showed character to come back into the game, we deserved the equalizer, then we went to fight for the win - we showed personality and character.

You need to look at the bigger picture. The bigger picture looks much better."
