Erik ten Hag may not have enough depth on the right wing, but Manchester United may have the solution thanks to the unlikely arrival of Sofyan Amrabat. With Jadon Sancho’s future at Old Trafford unknown and new allegations against Antony emerging, United may be able to add another new player.
Although Gabriela Cavallin, Antony’s ex-girlfriend, has made charges of domestic abuse, the Greater Manchester Police are looking into them. Antony has started each of United’s four games this season.
The 23-year-old has categorically rejected all of the accusations made against him, and no criminal charges have been brought against him.
However, such distractions might affect his performance on the field, and if the situation worsens, United might take legal action.
Sancho’s United career is currently in jeopardy after he started a public spat with boss Ten Hag following Sunday’s 3-1 loss against Arsenal.
Following Ten Hag’s admission that Sancho had been cut from his team due to poor training results, the 23-year-old retaliated on social media, claiming he had been used as a “scapegoat.”
Although the two are anticipated to have frank discussions during the international break, Sancho’s chances of becoming a regular starter have been negatively impacted by the outburst.
In the midst of a challenging start to his second season in command, it has left Ten Hag with another conundrum, but he might have a solution.
Amrabat was a welcome arrival on the day of the transfer deadline, and along with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, he is expected to balance up Ten Hag’s unbalanced midfield.
But the Dutchman will be eager to start Mason Mount, who United just spent over £60 million to acquire from Chelsea.Mount has demonstrated in the past that he is a capable right-winger, so Ten Hag at Old Trafford may consider him for the position in the future.
With a hat-trick and an assist from the right side in Chelsea’s 7-0 victory over Norwich City in 2021, the 24-year-old stood out in particular.
