At the beginning of his third season at Manchester United, we are starting to see a pattern emerge with Erik ten Hag's press conferences.

Not for the first time, on Monday afternoon Ten Hag was asked about someone who's on the fringes of the first-team. On this occasion, it was Antony, a player who has fallen abruptly out of favour with the boss after a dismal second season at Old Trafford.

So far this season, the Brazilian has only played a minute for United and was again named as an unused substitute in the victory at Southampton.

When asked about his record signing at United, Ten Hag sent an abrupt message to his forward.
