Antony just scored an absolute worldie to give Man Utd the lead against Charlton Athletic

Antony has just given Manchester United the lead in their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Charlton Athletic via a lovely left-footed curler.

The Red Devils were handed a favourable draw against Charlton at Old Trafford, with their opponents currently 12th in League One.

One player he did start is Antony, who is yet to fully live up to his £86 million price tag.

Fred worked the ball out wide to Antony, who took a few touches to compose himself. The Brazil international bent the ball around the Addicks defence and goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer to put United in front.

Fans online have had their say and despite the opposition, they think it could be a great springboard for Antony to kick on from.

One person said: "It's like an R1 finish on FIFA, nobody stops that."

A third tweeted: "People who are calling him out have zero ball knowledge."

While someone put: "He’s scoring some brilliant goals for us. Another to the collection."

Ten Hag decided to hand teenage midfielder Kobbie Mainoo a first start after impressing in training. He told reporters pre-match: "The most important thing is to win this game and get into the next round.

"We want to get into the semi-finals, so it's a big game. For him (Mainoo) it's a great opportunity, he did very well during the winter camp in Spain.

"He also did very well against Everton in a friendly. He deserved to play, so I'm happy to give him the opportunity - it's about deserving it."
