Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan insists that Antony has been a waste of money and done nothing since signing for Man Utd.
The Red Devils have made numerous mistakes in the transfer market over the last decade since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013.
So far Antony is going to go down as one of the worst with Erik ten Hag bringing him to from Ajax in a deal worth a reported £85m in the summer of 2022.
The Brazil international has contributed just five goals and three assists in 55 Premier League appearances since arriving from the Eredivisie.
And Jordan has accused the Man Utd winger of doing nothing at Old Trafford and that Ten Hag must answer why the Brazilian has been a complete waste of money .
: Of course there is a pressure and of course there is an expectation because if you spend big money on players, naturally you expect big outcomes.
If a £25m footballer doesn’t succeed there’s less noise around it. In this instance, with Antony, at £25m he would have been a bad buy because he’s been poor and everything about him has been poor.
He’s brought nothing. What has he brought to Manchester United beside headlines? Certainly nothing on the football field.
So at £25m you would be saying it’s a waste of money, at £85m you’ve got to look at the manager and ask why he bought him, especially as he knew him.

Man Utd boss Ten Hag praised Antony for his performance against Barnsley and insists he will consider the Brazilian for a start against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Ten Hag said: He fought for his place. First of all, he earned it [in] training and, today, on the pitch, he showed he is with us and he wants to fight for his place.
He had some good actions. He showed he can deal with this, with the pressure, and I think that’s a good sign.
Ally McCoist reckons Alejandro Garnacho who scored a brace against Barnsley is the best of an average bunch of wingers.
