Erik ten Hag berated one Manchester United star during the club’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus fired Arsenal to a dramatic stoppage-time victory as the Gunners and United played out a topsy-turvy Premier League encounter.
Marcus Rashford netted a stunning opener in the first half, which was cancelled out moments later by a well-taken Martin Odegaard strike.
The match looked set to end in a draw after a penalty for a foul on Kai Havertz was overturned following a pitch-side review, and VAR ruled out substitute Alejandro Garnacho's late winner for narrowly straying offside.
And while United manager Ten Hag lamented a hat-trick of decisions that went against his side during Sunday's pulsating defeat, some of his attacking players were also to blame for United’s failings.
While Antony made a good contribution defensively, he struggled to contribute in attack.
And as per the Manchester Evening News’s Sam Luckhurst, Ten Hag was furious at Antony during the game.Luckhurst wrote on X, formally known as Twitter: “Ten Hag gave Antony a rollicking less than a minute ago and the next time he gets the ball he loses it. Bar Rashford with his brilliant goal, the forwards have been off it again.”
However, after the game, Ten Hag blamed United's defeat on various refereeing decisions, insisting that "everything went against us."The Dutchman told Sky Sports: "The performance was alright from us. I thought we played a very good game but everything went against us - then you don't win the game.
"We needed a little bit more luck to win the game. It was not offside [for Alejandro Garnacho's goal]. It was the wrong angle.
"It was then a penalty on [Rasmus] Hojlund and then we concede a goal that's a foul on Jonny Evans. It's so clear and obvious.
"You can say you need to finish your chances and that you shouldn't concede a goal after going 1-0 up. This is all true, but I was happy with the performance."
