trying to usher in a new era at Man Utd, but they reportedly believe a relic of the past is a perfect fit for their game. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/ruben-amorim\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ruben Amorim<\/a> exiled five players at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/club\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd<\/a> before the pre-season even began, in a move that sent a clear message of siege mentality. <\/p>\n<p><a

since managed to secure a move<\/a> away and is thriving, while the other four \u2013 Alejandro Garnacho, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/antony\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antony<\/a>, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia remain in limbo. <\/p>\n<p>However, if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/matheus-cunha\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matheus Cunha<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/bryan-mbeumo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> had their way, one out of those four would be with the first team right now.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

Regan\/Getty ImagesMatheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo agree on Antony<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/club\/manchester-united-fans\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd fans<\/a> wouldn\u2019t want to see any of these four players back in the team, but Amorim played a media blinder recently when he warned interested teams that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/ruben-amorim-opens-the-door-for-man-utd-outcasts-to-return-they-are-our-players\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they shouldn\u2019t wait for a bargain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the players on that list, fans would probably be the least miffed with seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/antony\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antony<\/a> back in the team, such was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/antony-sends-open-letter-to-real-betis-fans-as-manchester-united-future-hangs-in-the-balance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his performance at Real Betis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/opinion\/one-of-antony-rashford-and-sancho-is-unlike-the-others-it-works-in-ruben-amorims-favour\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antony has been a professional<\/a> and didn\u2019t burn bridges with United in a way Sancho or Garnacho did. <\/p>\n<p>Malacia\u2019s case is unfortunate in that Man Utd\u2019s revolution has passed him by, which makes Antony the least uncomfortable reunion at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/club\/stadium\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Old Trafford<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>As per Ben Jacobs, speaking to The United Stand, that is the feeling among Cunha and Mbeumo too, alongside a few other senior players at the club. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThere\u2019s a feeling from Cunha, Mbeumo, and other senior Manchester United players that Antony is a good fit in this system despite the winger pushing for a move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Antony is the least uncomfortable reunion at Man Utd<\/p>\n<p>Antony\u2019s return is not an ideal scenario for anyone involved, but if one reunion had to absolutely happen, it is quite easily his. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ironic to read that Mbeumo is a fan of Antony\u2019s fit in the system, since he\u2019s effectively the upgrade on the Brazilian as the Premier League-proven, left-footed, right-sided attacker. <\/p>\n<p>Cunha\u2019s admiration makes more sense since they are international teammates, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/matheus-cunhas-antony-comment-shows-his-first-goal-at-man-utd-is-clear-it-needs-to-change\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cunha has raved about Antony<\/a> before. <\/p>\n<p>If he were to return to the first-team picture, Amorim would at least be slightly encouraged that he\u2019s getting back a player who hasn\u2019t been a problem in the dressing room, and coming off playing the best football of his career elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>He could also slot in at two positions \u2013 either as a backup for Mbeumo as the right No.10, or as a wing-back to back up Amad. <\/p>\n<p>His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/man-united-will-progress-with-17m-transfer-deal-once-antony-is-sold-to-al-nassr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">value to United is still more as a sellable asset<\/a> than as a player on the pitch, but Cunha and Mbeumo have chosen the best option for a reunion among the exiled players. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are the symbols of Ruben Amorim trying to usher in a new
