Erik ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, has a big decision to make as his team prepares to host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Following his ex-girlfriend’s charges of physical assault, Manchester United has told Antony to postpone his return.
Ten Hag has relied heavily on the Brazilian international.
Even if his performances have divided opinion, he has been the first-choice right-winger.
With Amad Diallo ill and Jadon Sancho’s future uncertain, Facundo Pellistri is the only available right-winger.
He has tried to make the most of his scattered minutes. In Antony’s absence, he should be given a proper opportunity to stake his claim for a regular place in the starting XI.
The youngster would be gunning to get more first-team minutes under his belt as he continues to be an important member of the Uruguay squad.
The time is now for the Pellistri to shine.
