Manchester United fans have been expressing their delight after Erik ten Hag confirmed Antony could be fit to return for the FA Cup final against Manchester City next weekend.
Ten Hag and the Reds were concerned for Antony's fitness after he went down in pain following a first-half tackle by Trevoh Chalobah on Thursday.
The former Ajax man looked to be in tears as he was taken off on a stretcher at Old Trafford. When asked about the injury at full-time, Ten Hag initially admitted it was serious. "I don’t know [how bad the injury is but] everyone has seen he came off," the Dutchman said.

However, before United's last game of the season against Fulham, Ten Hag seemed to be in an altogether more positive mood. "We've all seen how he came off and it didn't look great," he told MUTV. "But the first assessment is not too bad and a good opportunity he is available for the cup final next week." News of Antony's possible return for the Wembley showcase has led to plenty of positivity among the Reds fans.
Here is what some of them had to say on Twitter. So far this campaign, Antony has scored eight goals and notched three assists for United.
