Erik ten Hag is going against his own advice with Antony persistence at Manchester United

Craven Cottage is a relatively docile stadium and so it was easy to hear the travelling Manchester United supporters on Saturday as they cheered the removal of Antony.

For want of another senior option, the Brazilian retained his place in the starting line-up despite doing little to justify it in Wednesday's 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat against Newcastle.

And for an hour at Fulham, he was equally ineffective, noticed only when taking his frustration out on others. United's more vocal fans have little issue expressing their feelings towards a substitution.

They have regularly called for Alejandro Garnacho to come off the bench with chants of 'Viva Garnacho', booed the removal of Rasmus Hojlund and groaned when he is replaced by Anthony Martial.
