Ten Hag used Robben to defend Antony

In a recent statement, after a 2-0 victory, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag talked about criticism over winger Antony. Defending him Hag said, “He can use his right, he has to do it more. He can also go outside. But he is so good on the inside. Arjen Robben, they say he has only one trick but that one trick was so brilliant no one can stop it. If you can go both ways you have more variations.”
