Erik ten Hag has challenged Antony to deliver more Premier League goals but says the £85million Brazilian is capable of 'killing' opponents.
The 23-year-old winger hasn't scored a league goal since October and still hasn't registered an assist in the competition.
But in a defence of the player he so desperately wanted to sign from Ajax last summer, Ten Hag pointed to important Europa League goals against Barcelona and Real Betis.
The United manager also praised Antony's ability to torment defenders with his speed and trickery, with Everton's Ben Godfrey the latest to struggle against him last weekend.
