Following a one-month absence, Antony made his comeback on Tuesday, joining United’s Champions League loss to Galatasaray off the bench.
Ten Hag, a 23-year-old winger, confirmed he was prepared during Friday’s news conference at Carrington, thus he might start again against Brentford.
Despite the Spanish left-back’s return to practice earlier in the day, the Dutchman said Sergio Reguilon wasn’t healthy enough to play.
The Sancho portion of the question was specifically ignored by Ten Hag, which tells you everything you need to know about if their strained relationship has improved in any way.
Following a one-month absence, Antony made his comeback on Tuesday, joining United’s Champions League loss to Galatasaray off the bench.

The Sancho portion of the question was specifically ignored by Ten Hag, which tells you everything you need to know about if their strained relationship has improved in any way.
Despite being photographed coming at Carrington on Friday for individual training, Sancho is still prohibited from participating in first-team activities.
Ten Hag has not changed his position and is still waiting for his No. 25 to apologize for branding him a liar at the beginning of September on social media.
Antony’s return is a much-needed injection of attacking firepower to bring a spark to his flagging front line because of the Dutchman’s ongoing displeasure with Sancho.
With just one goal this year, Marcus Rashford’s difficulties have been a major contributor to that. However, Ten Hag has lent the 25-year-old his support in order for him to regain the self-assurance that allowed him to score 30 goals last term.
“Strikers need a moment when they don’t score, and it will come. He’s so seasoned, and when he and the squad are acting appropriately, momentum will build and he’ll be blazing,” Ten Hag said.
Not always being at the same levels is typical. Everyone, even the opposition, is aware of his talent, but if Rashy is acting appropriately and the team is positioning him effectively, it is ultimately up to him.
“We’ve seen him get into good positions over the previous several weeks. He’s currently having some trouble, but this will pass because everyone is aware of his abilities.
“At Manchester United, everyone is behind him. His entire team is behind him and believes in him, therefore I’m confident that with their support, this will alter and pass.
