Host commentator
‘He [Antony] can be a really good threat on the right wing with his speed, without the ball, his movement, but also with his dribbles,” Ten Hag told MUTV.
‘He’s also very good at pressing and that’s what we need against Arsenal, who are a good playing football team. If you let them play that’s a problem, so we need to really be good pressing and pressing the back line of Arsenal. Yes [biggest test], but also for them, that’s clear. It’s a big test, but the biggest test I think was Liverpool.
‘Now this is another test, different styles and you have to be good with what I’ve said, the pressing has to be good.’
