It’s no secret that Ajax were never really glad that Manchester United signed Antony in the final days of the transfer window.
Manager Alfred Schreuder made his feelings public at the start of the month, making it clear he was ‘not happy’ with the Brazilian’s departure from the club.
The coach may be right not to be smiling about his star’s departure, but, ultimately, Ajax received €100m from Manchester United for that transfer, and there are people who think he should just move on with his job at the Dutch club.
This is the case of pundit Johan Derksen, who’s not a big fan of the comments made by Schreuder in recent weeks, claiming it’s time for the manager to focus on his work instead of going to the media about the departure.
“You have the best squad in the Netherlands and every trainer in the Netherlands with the highest diploma will be Ajax champion and you are allowed to do it, so don’t sit there and whine before a player leaves. You have three other people for that position who are also top.“
Following the move to Manchester United, Antony made at the weekend his debut at the club.
In the game against Arsenal at Old Trafford, it only took him 35 minutes to score his first goal and open the score for the 3-1 win.
