Man Utd dealt one other FA Cup remaining damage blow as Antony shedding race to be match

Erik ten Hag admits Antony seems to be shedding his battle to be match for tomorrow’s FA Cup remaining. The Man Utd winger had hoped to recuperate from an ankle damage sustained within the 4-1 win over Chelsea eight days in the past.

But the United boss issued a depressing prognosis 48 hours out from the showpiece towards Premier League champions Man City. “It is unlikely that he is available. He still has a chance but a really small chance as he didn’t make progress,” stated Ten Hag.

Antony’s probably absence is a second hit to Ten Hag’s ahead line with Anthony Martial lacking Wembley with a hamstring tear sustained within the remaining sport of the season towards Fulham.

But Ten Hag insists United nonetheless have sufficient entrance line choices to harm City this afternoon. “I am always asked about the absence of players, but it is about the the players who are available and many times we were successful.

“We have a good squad and from the good squad we make a good team. We deserve that opportunity to be in a cup final and meet Manchester City, it is a great opportunity and we fought so hard for it.”

Asked whether or not it was one of many largest video games of Ten Hag’s profession, the United supervisor stated: “It is definitely a big game but I don’t want to make an assessment on what is the biggest. 

“It is a great opponent and we are looking forward to the test. Every game you have to win. Football is about winning and results, every game you have to win.”

Utd will probably be going all out to spoil Man City’s treble bid as Pep Guardiola’s facet look to copy the outstanding achievement of Sir Alex Ferguson’s outfit from the 1998-99 season.

If City had been to do the job at Wembley on Saturday night, all that stands in the way in which of City finishing the treble is Inter Milan within the Champions League remaining subsequent weekend in Turkey. An enormous week is forward for each Manchester golf equipment.
