Man Utd handed fresh blow for FA Cup final

Antony out with serious injury

Manchester United have been handed a fresh blow for the FA Cup final with Antony ruled out with a serious injury.



The Brazil international has had a mixed debut season with the club and he is now sidelined for the last two matches.

Antony picked up an ankle injury in the 4-1 win over Chelsea and BBC Sport now confirm that the setback is serious.

The attacker has suffered a recurrence of the problem that sidelined him for the final two months of last season at Ajax.

This is a huge blow for the Red Devils, considering Antony has been impressive over the past few months from the right wing.

The Brazilian has also impressed in his Manchester derbies and he will be missed during the FA Cup final on June 3.

In his absence, Jadon Sancho will probably start on the right wing after a glowing performance against Chelsea lately.

Sancho bagged an assist in the convincing win over the Blues last night.
