Andy Cole does not hold anything back when criticizing Antony's level at Man United

The red devils are looking to make some changes to the team now, and the fact is that there are some players that are likely to leave the team in the next part of the season.

Manchester United are concern about the fact that there are several players that have not been up to standards in the season so far, but the fact is that there are some other players that have shown that they might not be able to ever reach a level that could really help the team to get better results in the next part of the season.

“We paid a massive amount of money for him. When you look at a club like Brighton who signed [Kaoru] Mitoma for £2.7million, then you have to ask what market are United shopping in when Brighton pays that for Mitoma and we end up paying £86m for Antony?” Andy Cole started when he talked about the brazilian player in the season.

Cole added, “Are we not shopping in the same market? It's like Primark and Zara; you think by paying more to shop at Zara, the quality will be better, but it turns out to be the same as Primark, so you end up paying more for the same thing.” and the fact is that there is a real concern for the reason why Ten Hag decided to pay so much for the winger.

“I look at the transfers we’ve made over the last 10 years and we've spent a hell of a lot of money on players that other clubs would have paid less for, so is it a case of United tax? We can't continue doing that.” Cole ended, and the fact is that now the team could have some problems with the transfers in the future.

Erik ten Hag transfers

Now it has been confirmed that every single transfer that Erik ten Hag would like to make needs to be approved by the scouts of the team before the deal could actually happen, and that could avoid situations like the one with Antony on the team.
