Ten Hag reveals Antony is 'in consideration' to play in Man United's CL clash

Erik ten Hag has hinted that Antony could make his return to first-team action on Tuesday when Manchester United host Galatasaray in the Champions League.

The Brazilian forward is yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils since the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on September 3, after being put on fully-paid leave following allegations he attacked three women.

He met with the Greater Manchester Police on Thursday voluntarily, before heading home under no restrictions, having been neither detained nor arrested.

Antony was pictured in first-team training for the first time since his absence at the weekend at Carrington, as h seemingly prepares for an impending return.

When asked about the ex-Ajax winger on Monday, Ten Hag revealed: 'Antony will be in consideration but yesterday was his first time back in team training. We have a final training, then we'll make a decision.'

'I can confirm, yeah. Licha Martinez will undergo surgery and the team news is Antony can probably return,' he added.

The Dutchman also confirmed that Antony had co-operated with the police 'fully' and was released under no restrictions, stating: 'Antony co-operated fully and it came out, he's not charged, so.'
