Ruben Amorim has made clear his expectations of the young players at Manchester United - the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho - as he begins work at Old Trafford

What is all the more frustrating and disappointing for Antony is that he went on strike in August 2022 to try and force through a move to Old Trafford. He refused to make himself available for selection for Ajax's 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam in their third Eredivisie game of the season amid his desperation to be reunited with Ten Hag.

Rúben Amorim has told Manchester United fans that his team will play "without fear" in his first interview since being appointed the club's new head coach.
