This happened repeatedly, with Anthony visibly expressing frustration towards his fellow players, including Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez.

However, the chance was missed, and Anthony’s frustration was evident. Jenas added that there were multiple instances where the timing was perfect for passing to Anthony, but the players chose to ignore him, allowing Arsenal to gain an advantage.
Meanwhile, Manchester United released a statement on their official website, acknowledging the allegations of assault against Anthony. The police are currently conducting an investigation, and the club refrained from making any further comments until more information is available. The club emphasized their commitment to taking the matter seriously and their concern for the impact it may have on abuse survivors.
Overall, this incident has raised questions about Anthony’s role within the team and the dynamics among the players. It remains to be seen how Manchester United and Anthony will address the situation going forward.
