Former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke believes the Red Devils sell Antony’s failure.
He told Football Accumulators: “There are always going to be question marks when you sign a player for that much, especially when they’re playing for a club like Man United. Players like Antony will understand they’re not performing as they should. It’s tough for him and I feel for him, but it’s both his and the club’s responsibility if things don’t work out.
