Anthony reveals why he's lost form at Manchester United hints he doesn't like being asked to play left back

Anthony, the Brazilian winger and Manchester United ‘s content specialist , has revealed that during the past season, his life was beset by problems that caused his form to plummet, including admitting that he did not like playing in the left-back position, which sometimes the manager, Erik ten Hag, ordered him to play at the end of the game.

“I’m someone who sets high goals for myself and I’m not happy with the last season at all. But a lot of things happened in my personal life last year, like it or not. There were a lot of things that happened that affected my performances on the pitch. But those things are gone. This is a new season. I’m mentally strong and focused on what I want. I believe this season will be completely different. I’ve matured a lot.”

“A lot happened last season. I had to play full-back which was not easy, but that’s because when the สมัคร ufabet team is drawing or trailing you want to go forward and help the team turn things around. So being put in defence was a little bit annoying for me. You get annoyed at times in the game, but when it’s over I don’t have any qualms and I still have respect for Eric.”

Anthony will have to fight fiercely for a place on the right wing this season with team-mates Amad, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho, all of whom are capable of attacking the ball, or the £86m United spent could prove to be one of the worst investments in the club’s history.
