It hurts to be a Manchester United supporter during the day. No new feeling with sporting adversity, but it seems to peak during the season with the combination of Ten Hag and Amorim. Then it hurts extra to see four former United players who are also scoring big outside Old Trafford.
Antony Elanga realized he didn’t get the opportunity at United and opted for Nottingham Forest in 2023. Here, the Swede has become one of the key players in the Forest attack that is fighting for a historic Champions League ticket.
Mason Greenwood’s history at Manchester United is complicated, but the 23-year-old has nevertheless taken Ligue 1 by storm in the Marseille shirt and title race.
Scott McTominay was the struggler and super reserve at Ten Hag, at Napoli the Scot has become one of Conte’s key pieces in the title race.
Then the last one, Antony, who in four games on loan at Real Betis scores like never before in the first weeks after exiting Old Trafford.
Without comparing the leagues, Manchester United have 28 Premier League goals so far this season. Here are the achievements of the four ex-United players during the same period:
Elanga 3 goals in the Premier League
Greenwood 14 goals Ligue 1
McTominay 6 goals in Serie A
Antony 2 goals in La Liga
Total: 25 league goals to Manchester United’s 28.
We’re just mentioning it.
