Antony shares first Manchester United message after Crystal Palace loss

Antony returned to Manchester United for the first time after he took time away from the squad due to abuse allegations.

Antony has spent the last number of weeks fighting allegations of abuse from his ex-girlfriend and left the Manchester United squad in that time in order to focus on his case.

He returned to Manchester United for the first time on Saturday after being pictured entering the club’s training complex for training on Saturday morning.

He was then in attendance as Erik ten Hag‘s squad lost 1-0 against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, and is expected to rejoin the squad in the next week and be available for selection.

“Good to be back” read his latest social media post, where he was pictured with his son, who was wearing a United home kit.

With United struggling for options in attack, Ten Hag may welcome back his £85 million man, and fans may expect to see Antony back on the pitch as the club host Galatasaray at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening in the Champions League.

After the club fell to their fourth defeat in seven Premier League games, there is a lot of work that needs to be done in order to rebuild this season.
