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.

United manager Erik ten Hag made changes to his side with a derby clash against Manchester City coming up on Saturday.

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

The 22-year-old has struggled with injury and a recent issue off the pitch, which saw him miss last Tuesday's 3-0 win over Bournemouth.

Antony scored in Friday's 3-1 victory against Everton with his weaker right foot. This evening, he's unleashed an absolute pearler with his favoured left.

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."

Another put: "Bend it like Arjen Robben. The guy is realising his potential."

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."
