Man Utd: Antony told 'unfair backlash' against him takes 'spotlight away' from £222m Chelsea duo

Glen Johnson tightly insists the criticism that Male Utd winger Antony avails has “pilfered the limelight away” from Enzo Fernandez and also Moises Caicedo’s expertises for Chelsea.

The Brazilian joined Male Utd from Ajax in 2022 but has fallen short to stay up to guesses with his expertises this period falling well below the stock.

Antony has yet to add a aspiration or an facilitate 22 appearances in with one voice competitions this period and also there have been records that both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and also Erik 10 Hag will conceivably type to offload him.

However former Chelsea protector Johnson presupposes some of the criticism of Antony can be overboard, particularly as shortly as there are other players in the Premier League prefer Fernandez and also Caicedo – that the Funks authorized for a melded £222m – whose disparaging expertises go under the radar.

Once frisked if the Chelsea duo are memorialized not to receive as a agglomeration stick as the Male Utd winger, Johnson told Betfred: “Once you type at it in stipulation of why Antony is recovering so a agglomeration stick and also not them, it brings out seem silly, but none of us want to surf through these players acquire the stick in the first void. At the end of the day, with one voice of them want to lug out at their safest, but in some instances in life, that’s not how it is.

“You wear’t want to surf through any of them recovering grief, but Antony of course avails an surprising agglomeration of backlash and also has, in a method, pilfered the limelight away from the supports of Moisés and also Enzo. Singularly, I wear’t assume any of them deserved that type of criticism anyhow. They’re merely criticised since of the price tag, but they place’t hit the apexes.

“Moisés and also Enzo have owned so a agglomeration equalize going on about them. Aggressively, if you’re the manager and also the bar has nailed 2 males that have price about £100 million each, you want them to stand up and also yank the others relevant into void. You would conceivably suppose a particle a agglomeration more individuality from them, but it’s still early in their Chelsea careers and also they have ranked expertises in occasionally that are top level but by their standards, they place’t used it as oftentimes as we with one voice would conceivably have prepared for.

“Once they situate some form, you still have 2 wonderful players. Chelsea needs to impart them both some time to allow the dust finalize.”

Once frisked what percent of the current Chelsea squad he’d prefer to surf through stick around next period, Johnson added: “I’d merely want to surf through 5 or 6 players vacate. Multiple of the players they’ve authorized lately didn’t come relevant relevant into a ensconced spice void since there’s been so a agglomeration equalize in stipulation of the playing group.

“Once there’s so most variations, it’s made complex to situate the relevant rhythm. Most of the players deserved a agglomeration more time since they’re so young and also they shouldn’t be summarized too instantly. Aggressively, there’s merely so a agglomeration time you can impart players but they’ve price the bar most money and also deserved the opportunity to have a full pre-period in the summer season season and also hopefully we surf through an complimented Chelsea next period.”
