Manchester United told current player's potential could make him their Arjen Robben

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Antony has the potential to be the Reds' Arjen Robben.

Bayern Munich and Chelsea legend Robben enjoyed a glittering career at European football's highest level. The 39-year-old was known for his trademark cut inside onto his left foot before fizzing a shot towards goal.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Saha believes the Brazilian has what it takes to reach the same heights as Robben but will need to improve his performances. "Antony has that Arjen Robben style about him where he cuts in the from the right-hand side and hits it with his left foot," he explained.
