This is What Makes Tyrell Malacia a World Class Left-Back

Antony averages 47 passes per match with a pass completion rate of 79%, …He provides assists every: 90 minutes andscores a goal every: 180 minutes.
Just look at Marcus Rashford stats vs Brighton: • 90 minutes played • 0 goals • 0 assists • 0 shots on target • 0/2 dribbles completed • 0 crosses • 0 long balls .
In terms of his standout attributes, Antony is a better dynamic and creative inverted winger than Marcus Rashford. The Brazilian winger has got extreme acceleration; great agility and body balance; not to mention a real aggression in his play that you get from South American forwards. He’s also an excellent 1 v 1 dribbler, a dangerous passer and he has a wicked shot.
Rashford still has it, but just needs to build up his confidence back. But don’t shower too much praises on Antony yet until he’s been baptized by fire in the premier league and still performs.

Comparing present-day Rashford with Antony ,Antony is better . But comparing 4 seasons ago Rashford , then he has better pace and outstanding than Antony, I don’t know what really happened to Rashford, he was a promising talent coming up ,all hope was on him.. boom he lost everything,pace , dribbling,. energy and so on.. presently Antony is better ..same with Sancho, Sancho lost energy and everything at Dortmund before coming to Man U..
Kingejiro says the only thing Marcus Rashford has over Antony is his PR game and essay writing skills. Antony vs Jadon Sancho is the ideal comparison, NOT Rashford vs Antony.

After a summer of speculation, Manchester United have brought in attacking reinforcements, signing Antony from Ajax for a potential final fee of 100 million euros. Erik Ten Hag has already stated that the Brazilian has been signed to play on the right of his attack but what should Manchester United fans expect from his arrival?
“It’s my DREAM come true”, Antony speaks to MUTV for the first time after completing his £85.4m move from Ajax.
Rashford VS Antony dos Santos: who is better for Erik ten hag
Without the ball Antony works harder for the team than Rashford. Schooled by Ten Hag, Antony is a good presser – curving his run to funnel the opposition according to the specific match tactics.
According to Statman Dave, the Brazilian flair and aggression that Antony plays with should make him well suited to the Premier League. Like with all new signings, young signings expect him to need time to adapt but his all round play – his passing, positional awareness and ability in 1 v 1s, not to mention his aggression and tenacity will be apparent from his first appearance. Still just 22 and with the potential to be truly world class, Antony might cost a lot of money but he’ll be well worth it.
Why Antony Matheus Dos Santos has better skills than Marcus Rashford MBEAntony can deliver very accurate crosses. Notably, whipping crosses to the back post that only take a touch to fly in. However if there’s no obvious target, he’ll drive inside with the ball where he becomes a bigger threat. He’s very dangerous in these situations and likes to cut inside to get a shot off – often trying to pick out the far corner. But Antony has more to his game than long shots. He loves quick interplay, notably a 1-2 with an interior and where the space is will influence what Antony does. He’s an intelligent player and If there’s space out wide, he’ll follow up his pass with an underlapping run, getting in behind the defense. Meanwhile if the space is central, he’lll play a wall pass and move even further inside.
Is Antony left footed?Yes, Manchester United’s new signing Antony Santos is a left-footed wide man (winger) who will improve Erik ten Hag’s attacking firepower.

Another big strength of the Brazilian is Antony’s ability to operate in tight spaces. This is a sign of a top talent. Antony doesn’t rely on pure speed to beat his man, instead his quick feet, close control and impressive agility allow him to unbalance his opponent and wriggle past them. It also allows him to still keep the ball when he’s doubled up on by turning and jinking to beat multiple players and it’s something we’re already seeing more of this season from the Brazilian.
Carl Rees writes, ” Manchester United have signed some real pros this Summer, could have a massive impact on turning what has been a circus of a dressing room round. Look what Martinez & Malacia have done for our defence already1 Martinez especially with his infectious passion, high-fiving & encouraging all his teammates with every good save, tackle or block. These South Americans often have tough childhoods, they’ve fought their whole lives for everything & they bring that onto the pitch, both Martinez & Antony spoke about their tough childhoods in their introductory interviews. Very appreciative guys with a great work ethic, just what is needed more of at United. Ten Hag & Antony have like a father/son relationship, such huge mutual respect. Can only be something we’ll benefit from.”
