The Antony signing remains the symbol of Erik ten Hag’s weak delivery in the Premier League. Almost 100 million euros for the Brazilian from Ajaz, who did not fit into the world’s toughest league at all. This was the signing Ten Hag is said to have pushed through when he signed with United, and will forever and always be remembered for the blunder. Now comes a book with information from Ten Hag’s agent, which tells a different story.
The quotes come from the book by Viaplay and Rijnmond presenter Bart Nolles, titled “Liverpool and the Dutch”.
