- Manchester United lost 4-3 to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals
- Rubén Amorim made the changes for the match and released the marginal players
- LISTEN NOW: It’s all starting! Are Tottenham managers treated differently to other managers?
Troy Deeney has called on Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to flog a player immediately after he failed to impress once again in Thursday’s defeat to Tottenham.
The player in question has not come close to living up to the expectations that came with his move to the Premier League in 2022.
The winger’s performances are regularly lamented by United fans, who are frustrated by his poor performances and inability to keep up with the English top flight.
Deeney has now urged Amorim to “cut ties” with Antony as soon as he can and ship the £85million Brazilian he inherited from the Erik ten Hag era.
“As soon as Manchester United took Antony, everyone else started running,” Deeney said. CBS Sports.
‘They have to cut ties with him. I don’t want to make him the scapegoat but honestly it’s very frustrating to watch.
Troy Deeney has called on Man United manager Ruben Amorim to immediately cut ties with Antony.
Antony has struggled to live up to expectations since arriving from Ajax for £85million in 2022.
Antony made an unusual start for United against Tottenham but struggled to impact the game.
‘This is your big moment. Don’t run, don’t run, just take it out. If you get rid of Marcus Rashford, whoever takes him, we will pay you to take him (Antony) too. Get him out of the club.
United saw their Carabao Cup campaign come to an end at the hands of Spurs on Thursday night, with defensive errors proving costly in a 4-3 defeat.
The Red Devils were at one point trailing 3-0 with no hope of a comeback in sight, but were gifted a way back into the game when Fraser Forster produced two howlers in seven minutes, reducing the deficit to one with 20 minutes left.
Heung-min Son scored straight from a corner to ease fears of a Spurs collapse in north London, but that didn’t stop Deeney attacking Ange Postecoglou’s “backward” team and almost throwing away their three-goal lead.
“Tottenham were in control: 60 minutes, 3-0 and Manchester United had nothing,” added Deeney.
“They had to bring in three substitutes and they probably didn’t even want to bring in those guys, let’s be totally honest, and Tottenham were in a situation where they were inviting pressure.”
“Going to your goalkeeper should be going to your goalkeeper to come out on the other side of the game, so if you can pass the ball to him on the right side, he touches you with his right foot and plays it with his left.” foot, and you continue making the team run.

Ange Postecoglou has seen his selection chances hampered by an injury crisis this season, particularly regarding number one Guglielmo Vicario, who underwent ankle surgery in November.
‘They didn’t do that. They made five, six, seven touches, tried to score, tried to play with a high line and simply invited pressure. The Tottenham defenders were running forward.
“You learn that at four or five years old: not to press the ball, stop, go back, give them space. They do everything backwards.’
