Antony has been entertaining fans of Ajax for a couple of seasons now. His skills, tricks and flair get supporters off their seats. He rose to prominence as part of Erik ten Hag’s Ajax team, so continuing his development with ten Hag at Manchester United makes sense.
But what else will he offer Man United? What kind of player is he? Where will he play? Jon Mackenzie explains.

#MUFC #Antony - Sport
Tifo are not entirely wrong. Everyone but Man United fans is excited whenever they see Antony in the starting lineup.
Good summary, but don't agree with the point about Dalot. His strength is going forward. The goal against Southampton at the weekend is a great example.
Agreed.
The goal against Southampton isn't a great example because it's the exception, not the rule. He gets forward and is certainly better going forward than AWB (not much of an achievement though), but his crossing actually quite poor.
@The Quiver personally i feel he's improved alot in comparison to last season
@The Quiver he is only 23
@The Quiver Cancelo looked deficient before Pep got him. Sometimes the right coach can help you develop.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm excited to see the player Dalot becomes going forward. With a player like Antony hugging the touchline in front of him, and Varane and Casemiro covering his left centre, he'll have much more freedom and space to overlap/invert his runs up the field and get involved. He's quick, he works hard, he has a good eye for the game, he can take a player on and he can deliver solid crosses. I don't think people give him the props he deserves, nor do they see the potential for growth. That's just my opinion.
It’ll give the all so familiar illusion of having a world class fullback
@@big_cash_gaming7530 I mean, who's to say it has to be an illusion?
the signing of antony excites me as it allows sancho to play on his better side so hopefully both of them can have a good season
I thought Sancho better side was from the right
@@russelwestbrick4141 he's got more goals on the left, more assists on the right. But overall the numbers are almost identical
his better side is on the right, didn’t you see last season, he wasn’t as effective as he was on the right
If you look up Sancho's numbers with Dortmund, his goals and assists per minute were both far better on the left than the right.
As for Antony, this video did a good job of explaining why he is so valuable. Antony can score and assist, but G+A does not represent his primary value as a winger. He is a ball progressor who can take on any defender or find teammates. He creates pressure on the opponent's defensive structure by pulling one or often two defenders very wide, which creates opportunities for teammates inside the box. He does a completely different job than Sancho, and the two should complement each other nicely.
This is an obvious overpay but Antony is a very dynamic player with a rare set of skills.
@@vyagrha yea you didn’t watch him last season
One underrated part of his game is his longshots, as an Ajax fan I have seen him many times cut inside and curl the ball in the top left corner. In the premier League he will get less space to do so but I think people will be surprised about his outside the box goals.
he’s never hit double figures for you?
@@andyashton5955 he never needed to. His numbers are pretty solid for a tricky winter. He's not an inside forward, he's a winger who cuts in to create chances and potentially get shots off. The numbers are good enough, and no doubt will be improved upon under more coaching from ETH and more development given his age. It's definitely an overpay, but he's not a bad player by any means. People also bring up his Eredivisie stats from last season(8 goals, 4 assists), but conveniently leave out that he only played 23 games, meaning he averaged 0.52 goal involvements per match, a solid return for his style of player.
@@alexanderfarah true that, but i don't think he will delivers 100mil quality. hes a decent player, but defo not a 100 mil player
@@BrokeassRen very few players are worth that much. I think he'll be great, but yeah the price is definitely too much
@@alexanderfarah yeah he 'will' but that will takes us long time, as it is for right now. he's not worth 100 mil pricetag. Even Nunez , Grealish imo isnt worth 100mil
It feels like we are in a period where transfer fee doesn't reflect footballing ability. Lukaku and Grealish were £100M but failed to impress, though in Grealish's case it seems like he fits a system.
Similar can be seen with Nunez and Fofana. Both being really expensive but being seemingly crucial parts of a team's system.
... But all those players had good seasons before they were bought. How is ability not reflected?
This is easy to say when you have the whole picture, Nunez scored 26 in 28 in his league w/ 6 in 10 in the CL, why else do you think they bought him?
It’s been like that for years though. If it’s bought from a rival club, and if the buyer is desperate for a player in their position, the prices gets pushed higher. Football transfers are just crazy like that sometimes. Harry Maguire ended up being 80M because United were dying for a central defender & they could afford to pay such a steep price
Antony only cost £84M cause Richard Arnold and John Mortough were faffing around. TH wanted him in May so if we’d gone in then like a sensible club we would’ve got for £50M. The Glazers were happy to give TH the likes of Arnourtovic if it wasn’t for the fan unrest and a buyer becoming available.
@@iwantgoals1566 Martinez cost more than that and we went pretty early for him. There was never a way Antony would have gone cheap.
Nunez has barely played and Fofana hasn’t played a single game. What?
TH is finally giving us some much needed balance. Our right hand side has easily been the weaker side in attack for years.
under Ole almost all attacks came down the left, embarrassing stuff
Ten Hag was always trying, the board at Utd wasn't helping him.
I would argue our midfield has been our weakest part of our team. We never had a strong midfield which helped the defence or transition to create good chances for forwards, but we lacked creativity on the right side.
Didn't you just spend 100m on Sancho though? Wasn't he supposed to be the solution?
Wasn't Sancho supposed to solve the right wing problem?
He is a great player no doubt but the transfer fee is so crazy.
£85M is insane
United tax
Agree but so is 70m for Fofana 42m for Gibbs white and Everton wanting 60m for Gordon.
80M for Maguire. Prem tax is real
@@pearsecrawford9366 yeah but atleast those make more sense, chelsea need cbs to replace christensen and rudiger + t silva is turning 38.
.
Utd werent even looking for a winger untill about a week ago, just feels like a classic utd panic buy
this channel is so sick, the futbol knowledge is fire and the examples always show the full picture. great videos
So sick he thinks Shaw starts over Malacia and gets Dalots game completely wrong
Some other players from Ajax who played in PL : Bergkamp,Ibrahimovic,Overmars,Nwankwo Kanu,Toby Alderweireld,Luis Suárez, Eriksen,Jan Vertonghen,Daley Blind,Mido,Davinson Sánchez,Rafael van der Vaart,Thomas Vermaelen,Vurnon Anita, Ryan Babel,Jairo Riedewald,Viktor Fischer,Hatem Trabelsi,Nigel de Jong,Steven Pienaar,Jaap Stam,Edgar Davids,Daniël de Ridder and many more ....
Tbf a lot of those players came when the level in the pl was a lot lower
You forgot to give us the longer list of players that didn't workout when they switched from Eredivise to PL
What's about from other teams in Eredivisie to EPL, Like Van Nisterlooy, Van Persie, etc..
Forgor Van De Beek
And somehow Antony is still worse than all of them😂😂❤
Brazilian here.
Antony stands out in the Brazilian National team, where he competes with: Neymar, Vini Jr, G. Jesus, Raphinha, Rodrygo, Richarlison and Firmino.
Antony is from the São Paulo academy, the best in Brazil. The same as Casemiro, Lucas Moura, David Neres and many more.
He is amazing. What a signing for you guys. Congratulations.
Thank you Luke Shaw for explaining! I thought you were tactically challenged. I was wrong.
Haha, he lost weight too
🤣🤣
0:09 holy cow thats him alright!
Hopefully the current forwards start moving cuz Antony can't cross if no one is in box.
I wonder if Man U keeps Ronaldo that the arrival of Antony will give him new life as the main target in the box for his crosses
CR7 would be perfect for Antony. The attack should be CR7, Antony and Sancho
@@redpandagency no martial is first choice this season
@@saqib7965 he can’t score like CR7
@@brooklynbound1000 man u need to let Ronaldo join a champions League club
Absolutely brilliant explanation...it soo clear on what he is trying to do and who he is trying to bring in...this one signing is literally benefiting 3 other players in the team and that's brilliant 👍‼️
This is the same channel that said Sanchez would play on the right before he joined. Sometimes they make vids where I'm like, are we talking about the same player/match
A lot of those left footed assists were for a great aerial threat (Haller) if C.Ronaldo stays, he should clean-up.
Otherwise, Rashford and Martial will need to work on improving in the air.
Hope Cr7 stays...... Needed aerial threats for opposition....
Exactly my thoughts too. Ronaldo played himself. If he was receptive to ETH, he could have had a phenomenal season
if united swap ronaldo for oshimen, this season may be very fun to watch
@@razaabbas6605 Deal is never happening in a million years lmao no idea why so many people are gullible and believe any old report
@@razaabbas6605 Osmihen isn't that good in air
Some great points there, Antony is very exciting but it think he'll also allow the other partnerships to develop. Malacia and sancho could be an interesting one.
Can’t wait to see Antony Santos 🇧🇷
Antony really benefitted from his excellent partnership with Mazraoui at Ajax. He really needs a great attacking wing back that can create space for him, because otherwise he has been prone to being forced to pass back an awful lot
He needs an inverted fullback, not necessarily a wingback. With an inverted fullback, he gets isolated against 1 opponent on the wing. 1 on 1 he's great, with an overlapping fullback it might get worse.
@@merijn4440Oh yeah you're right, inverted and not wingback. That is what I meant but didn't say. Thanks for clearing that up!
@@Dangerardus United play with an inverted full back in Dalot. Dalot maintains cental positions and only rarely makes overlapping runs. The issue United have had in recent seasons is that even when the right winger is 1v1 they pass the ball backwards. So, Antony (a competent dribbler) should help there a lot.
@@tombrady5587 had no idea Tom Brady was so into ⚽
Can u make an updated video on how Antony is doing and his struggles in the first season
Mate, the SPEED at which you guys get these up. Amazing.
I think Antony's signing will increase competition among united squad and it will likely force others such as rashford, sancho, martial to improve their games plus it will also make the job for ten haag easier as he now has better squad depth in the area and could rotate better and also implement different strategies if needed(which is tough for managers to do but a good manager like klopp,guardiola like to have such hardships.).
Superb Analytics..
He is fun to watch. One of those ballers you go to the stadium for.
He is a very good ball crosser . His arrival means central forward will have more chances to score
Can't wait to see him in action
aged like milk :(
I really don't understand ETH. He must have seen something special in Antony training with him on a daily basis. To spend 100 mil on a player who proved to not be the most essential part of his system, is baffling to me. Our most influential players last year imo where: 1 Tadic, 2 Blind, 3 Martinez, 4 Mazraoui, Haller, Antony, Alvarez.
In his years at Ajax, ETH played with Ziyech Neres and Antony on that right wing. All completely different player of which Ziyech looked like the best fit by a mile. Antony did make Mazraoui look amazing, so Dalot should be the happiest with his arrival. But i would've thought any style left footed right winger would suffice.
Antony brought quickness flair and a lovely left foot, but arguably looked better in Schreuder'e (the new manager) system. The last 2 games ge was available, we saw him run in behind and switch flanks a lot more compared to under ETH.
I hope for Erik's job sake that it pans out 🙏🏾
Tadic is ancient, Blind flopped at United before and we’ve bought Martinez. Don’t really understand your point
Legit concern but I think ETH is quickly figuring somethings out about the premiership.
Due to the nature of the league, pacy wingers and stalwart DMs are fundamentally important. I think it Explains his quick pivot to Casemiro. Time will tell but this United team clearly would be better with Anthony.
Only time and trophies will tell Whether he’s worth that 100m
@@CheeseyMilkshakes lol i bet you've never watched a minute of Ajax matches
@@CheeseyMilkshakes that Antony has never been that important for us and has arguably been out preformed by the players you mentioned. If Martinez was missing the system looked compromised. If Antony was missing there would only be less step overs on the wing that game.
United paid 100mil for an exciting developmental winger from an Eredivisie club. While ETH's system showed it doesn't need specific profile for a right winger outside of being left footed. United could have gone for a much more premier league ready winger imo. But hope he proves me wrong.
Blind already wore a United shirt though. He doesn't need to come back.
The only issue i have with the antony signing is that with sancho they now seemingly have 2 ball to feet wingers. And neither of the 2 have blistering pace to run in behind, meaning in some games they might miss that dynamism and pace.
You are right so I think now it is very important that we will have a striker with pace and the ability to run in behind. So for now we could use rashond in the attack but in the long term I believe Osimen will be the perfect player for us
Very true, also neither of them are proven to be big game players, Sancho isn’t in the England squad anymore, and there’s no guarantee Antony will be for Brazil either. I just can’t see how they both cost so much when they’re not even top 10 in their positions ITW
@@skyrimplayer2335 maybe they are not first 11 but would definitely be on plane to Qatar. bar injuries
@@nakimteti7249 Sancho definitely won’t be. He hasn’t been included in the last 2 England squads. His place is now taken by Sterling, Saka, Grealish, Bowen, Foden and/or Maddison or Smith Rowe. He also certainly doesn’t deserve to be on that plane either. Gabriel from Arsenal has outscored Sancho since last season and he’s a CB
I been waiting for this video, thank you !!
Forget the fee, enjoy the player
I'm very excited for this transfer, he will be so entertaining to watch play with his fancy dribbling 🤩
Hopefully avoids injuries and keeps consistency🤞, he has the potential to be one of the greatest
So what you're saying is... He's a dribbly boi?
Arguably the Eredivisie's dribbliest boi in the past view season. Check out the FC Groningen highlights from this year 😍
Dribble and fail often boi tbh.
51% success rate overall, 56% in the Eredivisie and 37% in the Champions League. Idk why Tifo seems to use volume stats so much lately. If he scored 16 goals because he took 158 shots (double what he did last season) they'd tell you he's a good goal threat.
With Sancho (who is also a dribbly boi) on the left now all United needs is an absolute mad lad in the box to complete the JJBull offensive trident
@FriedIcecreamIsAReality he's arguably taking a step back when it comes to the guys he's playing with. I understand there's some high reputation players in United's team, but Mazraoui> Dalot, Haller> Martial (past seasons) Alvarez/Berghius>McFred.
@FriedIcecreamIsAReality with better teammates, so... the Fred-McT crab duo, and crybaby Bruno Fernandes...I wouldn't know if they're necessarily better.
Everything apart of the Dalot point was correct. Good video
Great Vid as always. Can you please make a vid about Dubravka of how he will help us?
simple. he's going to sit on the bench all season. unless de Gea gets injured. Pretty much what he would have done for Newcastle, just for more money
Is he taking about a different player than the one who plays from man u
Would his arrival could be a chance for AWB to prove himself under EtH? He can surely do all the defensive duties, specially with Antony not lacking defensive awareness. Malacia loves to overlap with sancho on the left that could work also.
What a great signing. I'm sure he will repay us. GGMU.
I like Antony but I’m just afraid the fee United paid is gonna unfairly put a target in his back like it always does. If they would just do business with a plan in mind I think they either could have bought this player earlier for less money or a similar prospect for less money. The price tag is gonna put a lot of pressure on a young player in a new league.
I thought it would be amazing if you give players your own rating , considering amount of data you use
nice vids and explanation Sir
As a Porto fan, Dalot is fantastic going forward. Talented and imposing. He and Antony should be a great partnership.
I have never been this anxious for a deal before in my life. He is the most exciting player out there at the moment, feels like he can do anything + he's hard working. He's definitely a future contender Ballon D'or.
crazy if someone doesn't like this signing. He's a special talent, and hopefully will be even more special
It's more that he is a relatively unknown player to most people and he is coming in for a massive fee, of course, people are going to be sceptical.
Truly a special talent😂😂😂😂😂
Now united front line could be Anthony Elanga - Anthony Martial - Antony
nah surely Sancho moves back to the left and Elanga goes back to the bench

Only thing I can criticize is that in these videos the screen has almost half the pixels of the capture resolution and throws me off a lot trying to check my res on YT
Awesome
The only thing I’m excited about is John “the dawg” Mckenzie’s xDawg stats
Presenter is incorrect about Dalot. He's average, but attacking. He's arguably our most offensive fullback.
Brazilians speak Portuguese.
Dalot and Antony on right wing 😮.
Fred, casimero with Fernandes ahead of them. Scary in a good way.
Proper gassed ⛽️
Antony is a blessing for Wan Bissaka's career actually if u think the right full back just has to focus on defending
After cutting in he also likes to play short through balls to an overlapping RB, which is exactly why the attack-minded Dalot has been picked ahead of AWB.
I think with Antony being there in the right wing, Wan Bissaka can revamp his career. Defensively he is good and if he finds someone who is a winger and staying out wide, and Bissaka not necessarily will make a run. He just needs to insure Casemiro and center backs by being there on the right hand side waiting for the counter to stop. This will be a brilliant duo but Dalot is in form and will be hard to replace. We need this in the team ofcourse. Exciting times ahead.
Dude are you for real? That Dalot part 😂
Every dribbler winger needs a good wingback that can attack, and open up space or fill up space he lefts behind, especially the type of inverted winger like Antony who like to cut inside and attract defender so the wingback can advance and not just "sit behind" 😂
of course it was jon
Whats the point of going round and crossing when there's no one to head the ball? Utd doesn't have a strong aerial presence save for Ronaldo who's benched
yeah i dont get it either.
Sancho will get a Tadic role, left wing play maker, and Rashford/Martial as striker. I’m sad about Antony leaving, but I guess we could see this coming, knowing Ten Hag. At least it’s for a massive sum. Pretty sure you’ll enjoy him in Manchester. Just sucks that he one day says he doesn’t mind staying, then act the complete opposite of his words.
Jon Dog Mckenzie is bloody onto it
Wasn't Sancho brought in to compensate for Wan-bissaka's conservative nature., and now MUtd have a different RB and a new Rwinger. Fantastic.
A good thing utd fans are going to see is that how antony is going to change dalots game .if antony is going to cut inside with the ball dalot will get the overlapping runs anticipating a through ball
Joga Bonito!
With Antony chipping in crosses, Ronaldo will love it right? It seems like a perfect fit. We really need to see this partnership happen.
could you make a video about when a player hand in a transfer request and what rules come with it, i find it very confusing
My question is not about Antony himself but his surrounding : Dalot will e a good fit with him or not, and who will play on the left ? Rashford ? So Sancho will be on the bench ? Or - because he's a pure winger - there will be a rotation between him and Antony ?
But all of Ten Hag systems will be useless with Keeper "not sweeper" like De Gea and Dubravka
Sancho played a full season at dortmund on the left.
dubravka is a sweeper keeper, thats why we bought him. Degea is going to be benched soon.
Sancho will be played on the other side most likely (it’s his prefer side too I think) and Rashford will be benched
i'm excited for him, but im most confused about how he'll replace rashford/sancho and why it was necessary to replace either of those high value players. I just feel like winger wasn't a massive need compared to other areas.
To create competition.. and then they can pushing to being out the best from them..
Transfer fees are over-stated. United always over-pay. The most important thing is that ten HAG HIMSELF wants this player for his system, ten Hag is one of Europe's most sought after managers and ten Hag has a reputation of improving his players. The man may just be able to fix nearly everything Rangnick complained about in one window.
also Antony is young, loves Ten Hag and wants to play for United
imo, Man Utd has the most interesting, exciting squad in the whole Europe... it might be bias coming from the United fan but it just my opinion...
anyway guys this time it just hit different and man all the players we've signed and the manager wooh... The wings backs Dalot and Malacia look solid and im telling you Varane+Martinez playing behind Casemiro would be a hell of a wall and upfront we've already got Sancho, Martial,Rashford, Amad, Elanga and Ronaldo+My man Antony...
and oh' i almost forgot to mention the Lords MacFred and the man the myth the legend himself Goat Maguire🐐 our Capitán.
Injuries :( It's kind of wild that last year Ten Hag had the highest win % of any United manager post Fergie. Now the squad is just struggling to do ANYTHING
Coming from a Dutchman: you guys are in for something good with this guy
This channel is now about man united mostly, and I like it
pls remove shaw from the list. granted he isnt starting now but seeing his name on the first team sheet just gives me goosebumps as much as seeing maguire in there
Finally, analysis that acknowledges Antony and Sancho are very different. People think because they’re both skilful that they both play the same way, nonsense
Great vid
What chart is he using
Turns out ETH still works for us as a double agent and just completed his scheme to siphon 100mil from the Glazers to an undisclosed bank account in Amsterdam.
Expect Brian Brobby est 85mil, Jurriën Timber est92.5mil, and Kenny Taylor est 70mil to move for ridiculous money to Old Trafford in the upcoming 1.5 year.
He can go both ways........
We're also seeing what Anthony can do under ten Hag when playing for Ajax in the eredivisie*
This channel man
Who is the last pacey tricky winger that's done well coming from the Eredivisie to the PL that's done well?
Van Persie? And he barely fits that bill. He often was a winger at Feyenoord though.
Robben/Overmars
Hey how can I get this tshirt ?
But why u put Rashford in starting 11
When Man united have SANCHO
SANCHO OVER ANYONE
Tactical reasons: Rashford is more explosive and direct. Sancho is more of a playmaker than a goalscorer. In different games one could be better than the other.
Until last season, Greenwood was doing that, so i think the transfer is basically to fill in for Mason
LA CAPITANA....the shirt is awesome
I guess according to how you explain sancho can do good with Donny
Nice t-shirt
I'm coming back to this video a year later... If he didn't perform... I'm coming after you Tifo
Antony is the real deal. I’ve wanted this man to come to Chelsea for a mad minute, but I’m glad he’s at least coming to the premier league.
Sure
man the deals Chelsea have been getting makes me jealous
His T-shirt with Leah Williamson on it is lit🔥🔥💥
Very few players can be bought for any system and fulfill a specific role without compromising their playstyle. McGuire is a an old school center back, not that intelligent when it comes to any sort of offensive duties, he always had support of two defensive players at Leicester, United brings him in and expects him to be a completely different centerback.
Some players only perform well if they feel they are the stars in the team, they revel in fame, their skill diminishes as soon as they are another fish in the barrel as their motivation just isn´t squad focused, such players play well above their level when allowed to groom their ego.
Two examples of style and mental aptitude which you have to consider when signing a player, there are more aspects to take into consideration, some players are simply far more versatile than others, United has been appalling at making the right choices. Let´s see what the future brings, Antony may prevail where others failed.
what i dont understand is i thot sancho was our solution to the right hand side, which he has been doing fine recently. in terms of 1v1 ability, sancho is not any worse than antony i'd think. i understand sancho and antony are slightly different types of players but if sancho wasnt the solution how is antony going to make a huge difference?
because sancho can be switched to the left wing permanently. he does well there. if you watched the game against southampton he got double-teamed a lot against them so his threat was neutralised a lot. the other winger in this game (elanga) wasn't able to exploit the space that was made when southampton overloaded sancho as he is not as much as an attacking threat as antony is. man united has been so left-wing dominant for years. antony will be our only left-footed right winger. we need that badly. so the idea is that we will have better balance by having too technically proficient wingers on both sides. sancho is not as quick as antony but has better decision making abilities. antony on the other hand has great acceleration and technical ability but lacks (at this point) good decision making. he is also a fairly decent crosser of the ball.
what we really, really need is an aerially dominant centre forward who can press. if ronaldo stays, he obviously is great aerially so will be the main beneficiary of having antony there. if he doesn't stay, we will be in trouble because neither winger will have anyone to cross to!
this is why we were linked with sasa kalajdzic a few weeks ago (although he is going to wolves unfortunately).
we might go in for depay at the last minute because he is cheap and available and decent in the air (if ronaldo does leave).
Very privileged not many players get the opportunity to play for the famous Manchester United treble winners and follow in the footsteps of Duncan Edwards, Nobby Stiles, Bill Foukes, Roger Byrne, Denis Violett, Alex Stepney, Best, Law, Charlton, Coppull, McIlroy, Kanchelskis, Mark Hughes, Denis Irwin, Schmeichel, Robson, Cantona, Keane, vNistelrooy, Carrick, Edwin vSar, Evra, Vidic, Yorke, Cole, Neville's, Beckham, Giggs, Jaap Stam, Ferdinand, Ronaldo, Scholes, vPersie and Rooney
Any thoughts on Rashford and what would his role be when Antony arrives ?
Bench/rotation Sancho, starting striker if not Martial is injured (again)
@@TheAndy25026 so that means we do not even have a single player from the academy ?
Sancho is stronger from the left inverted so this makes our wings stronger both ways. My concern as a Unit6ed fan is we still need more control in Centre Mid. I'd like us to sell a few (AWB, Garner, Fred or Donny) and then use it for De Jong, Neves or Milinkovic-Savic.
Casemiro - Eriksen - Bruno are decent actually.. But i think it's still need time because Eriksen n Casemiro just joining this season and still need time to know each other games..
But yeah, it would be great if we can have De Jong or SMS too..
Any chance of one on paqueta
Sancho doesn’t want to play on the right… ten hag will drop or move rashford to the middle and move Sancho on the left with Antony playing on the right
if Antony was signed under a different manager then I wouldn't of expected much, but the fact that he is being signed by the very same manager who got the best out of him, then I am not worried at all. Other's shouldn't be either.
The best out of him was 8 goal + 4 assists in Eredivisie last season? Lol gonna be a comedy show again🤣🤣🤣. Luiz Diaz is a far more effective player than him and didn't even cost half of his price for Liverpool
