“I’ll only come back if HE leaves!” – Antony drops bombshell on his Manchester United future after stunning Forest display
BREAKING NEWS:
Manchester United winger Antony has finally spoken out, and his words have set Old Trafford on fire. After months of criticism and doubts over his place in the squad, the Brazilian put in a fiery performance against Nottingham Forest last night, silencing his doubters with a “steeler” display. But instead of celebrating a return to form, Antony has thrown a thunderbolt into United’s January plans—revealing the one shocking condition that could decide whether he ever pulls on the famous red shirt again.
In a brutally honest admission, Antony confessed:
> “I know I failed to impress United fans but that was because Ten Hag didn’t give me the platform to showcase my talents. I’m ready to rewrite my wrongs now, but there’s no way I can play with this one Manchester United player. I just don’t like anything about him. He needs to leave before I come.”
These words are shaking the dressing room to its core. Antony, once Erik ten Hag’s £85 million “golden boy” from Ajax, has been under intense scrutiny since arriving at Old Trafford. Criticized for his inconsistency, wastefulness in attack, and poor decision-making, many believed his time at United was finished. But his explosive showing against Nottingham Forest—where he ran riot on the wings, created chances, and looked like the star United thought they signed—has reignited speculation about a January comeback.
The real drama, however, isn’t about form. It’s about conflict inside the squad. Antony’s revelation that he cannot share a dressing room with a mystery teammate is the type of internal warfare that has historically ripped Manchester United apart. Fans are now desperate to know—who is this player Antony “just doesn’t like anything about”?
Some supporters online are pointing fingers at senior figures like Bruno Fernandes, known for his strong personality, while others suggest Antony may be targeting fellow attackers who compete directly for his spot. Names like Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and even new arrivals are being thrown into the mix.
Regardless of who it is, Antony’s ultimatum is clear: ship him out, or I won’t return.
This saga comes at the worst possible time for United. Manager Ruben Amorim, already under pressure after a shaky start to the season, now faces a potential dressing-room explosion if Antony follows through on his threat. The board is also stuck between protecting their £85 million investment or risking another toxic standoff like the Sancho-Ten Hag saga last year.
One thing is certain: Antony’s words have split the fanbase. Some supporters believe he deserves another chance, arguing his Nottingham Forest display proves he can still be the spark United need. Others see his comments as another example of entitlement and arrogance from a player who has yet to consistently deliver in England.
But as January approaches, the ball is in Manchester United’s court. Do they back Antony and clear out his mystery rival? Or do they cut ties with the Brazilian and move on from one of the most expensive gambles in club history?
Whatever happens, Antony has ensured one thing—this transfer window will be nothing short of explosive.
