Sir Alex Ferguson is sick of Antony’s lackluster performances at Manchester United, fans have claimed.
The Brazilian winger has been a disaster of a signing for the club since his £86million move in the summer of 2022, picking up just one goal and one assist in 26 matches this season.
He has found himself out of the United XI in the Premier League, with Alejandro Garnacho preferred on the right side by manager Erik ten Hag as United chase a Champions League spot.
He again disappointed, however, being substituted early for Amad Diallo, and fans have claimed that former United manager Ferguson has seen enough.

In the first half of the game, United captain Bruno Fernandes tried a long cross-field pass to Antony, which the Brazilian failed to get on the end of, putting his thumb up in response to the attempt.
BBC cameras then cut to Ferguson, who was sat in the stands alongside David Gill and Sir Dave Brailsford, who joined the club following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment last week.
Ferguson appeared frustrated with the showing of the former Ajax man, and fans are convinced then have worked out what he was complaining about.
‘Even Ferguson is tired of Antony’s nonsense,’ one fan posted on X, formerly Twitter.
‘Sir Alex can’t believe what Antony and Bruno are doing!’ a second said.
A third added: ‘Bruno tried a diagonal to Antony and then it cut to Fergie, Gill and Brailsford all shaking their heads.’

United are expected to overhaul their footballing department in the early stages of Ratcliffe’s reign, with the British billionaire taking over all football activities immediately.
It remains to be seen whether Ten Hag will be in charge next season, but a big monetary investment into the playing squad is expected.
