    Even if Sancho has nothing to back up his attitude, Antony is clearly the teacher’s pet at United. Even Garnacho offers more in most games and if everyone can see it back home, I am sure some players at the club can as well.

      Antony has performed better than Sancho. Antony lacks end product but so has Sancho who has done a worse job at scoring and creating than Antony. And Antony at least works hard off the ball and presses diligently unlike Sancho who doesn’t even put in the bare minimum work rate.

      Garnacho plays much better off the left than off the right so he’s in direct competition with Rashford rather than Antony. Also Garnacho still performs much better as an impact sub and doesn’t have the same impact on games when starting.

        Does Antony’s left foot even come in to the game? I’ve seen ETH sub on Garnacho to play on the right or move Rashford there.

      It’s not so much that he’s the teacher’s pet as it is that he’s the best of a bad bunch for that position.

      Sancho offers nothing on the pitch for United. Can’t score, can’t assist, can’t dribble, can’t pass under pressure, can’t cross, can’t get in behind, can’t track back, can’t keep the team shape, can’t pull defenders out of position, can’t press, can’t win the ball back. Antony, at least, does some of those things all of the time, even though his end-product has been beyond laughable for a player with his massive price tag.

      Garanacho will probably take Antony’s spot if he keeps going at his current trajectory, but he’s still very raw and doesn’t appear quite ready to be a starter week in and week out. His good games are remarkable, but his bad games are extremely bad. Once he raises his floor, he will start.
