Antony is temporarily suspended by Manchester United amid ongoing investigations about him. Below are 5 ways MU can apply until he returns.

Facundo Pellistri should be the number 1 choice

The number one choice to replace Antony must definitely be Facundo Pellistri. The Argentinian winger already deserves to start, so this is the perfect opportunity to use him. The young star, who regularly starts for Uruguay on the right wing, has proven that he can fulfill this task well.

Every time he comes on the field from the bench, he looks very dangerous. With Jadon Sancho having fallen out with Erik ten Hag after the Arsenal match and the ongoing issue with Antony, Pellistri is by far the best option.

 Pellistri is the number 1 candidate for the vacancy left by Antony.

Bruno can drift wide

The option used previously was Bruno Fernandes on the right wing position.

The Portuguese star has proven that he can compete there. He doesn’t necessarily have the speed required of a winger, but his technical ability makes up for it. It may be unwise, though, to move the team’s best player out of his best position when there are clearly other options.

Give a young player his debut

There is one right winger who is making waves in Manchester United’s academy system and that is Shea Lacey. At the age of 16, the winger played for Manchester United’s U21 team. He is also performing well at the international level, assisting Portugal U17 twice in recent weeks.

His playing style has been compared to Phil Foden and his career path has striking similarities to Man United legend Wayne Rooney. 

Prodigy Lamine Yamal just scored for Spain and played for Barcelona at the age of 16 – so why couldn’t Lacey make his MU debut?

Sancho makes peace with Ten Hag

 Sancho just had a public cоnfrоntatiоn with Ten Hag.

The logical replacement would be Jadon Sancho, but it would require cooperation from both the player and Ten Hag.

Sancho criticized the Dutch coach on social media after Ten Hag’s comments saying the reason he was not in the squad against Arsenal was due to his “poor training performance”. After that, it was reported that Ten Hag felt the situation had been blown out of proportion, and Sancho was expected to soon be given the opportunity to return to the Red Devils shirt.

Rookie Mason Mount

Another option for Erik ten Hag is to use Mason Mount on the right wing when he is fit to play. Mount showed early on that he was not really suited to Man United’s three-man midfield, and the arrival of Sofyan Amrabat raised more questions about his role. With Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho vying for playing time on the left, Mount could try playing on the right.
