'Last week I had nine fit top defenders, now I have four. We need all our players, we are still in three competitions, we need all the players to form a top team.'

Either side of wins in the Europa League round of 16 second leg and the FA Cup quarter-final – against Real Betis and Fulham, respectively – Ten Hag’s men left a lot to be desired in the league. Indeed, they drew 0-0 with Southampton ahead of those ties, a game in which Casemiro got sent off, before losing 2-0 to Newcastle United.

They’ve won each league game since then, and not conceded a goal. Indeed, today’s win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground followed home victories against Brentford and then Everton. As with both of those wins, today’s game saw United take the upper hand in the first half, Antony following in on a saved Anthony Martial strike to take the lead.

The Brazilian was a handful throughout the game and he had a hand in United’s second, too. Indeed, he moved inside from the right flank with the ball, charging at defenders before slotting through to Diogo Dalot, who finished ably to double United’s lead, with the score staying at 2-0 until the end of the game.

He also wants to play in the Champions League, which is a boost to Bayern and potential blow to Man Utd or Spurs. It's a bit of a mess, really.
