<\/p>\n

Manchester United head to Selhurst Park with hopes of returning\u00a0back\u00a0to winning ways and inject some excitement into the concluding phase of their season.<\/p>\n

With Champions League football out of sight and even Europa League qualification seeming unlikely, the majority of Man United fans can not wait for the league campaign to end. All the focus, for now, is on the FA Cup final and Ineos’ plans for the next term.<\/p>\n

In that regard, some United fans may monitor the Crystal Palace outing closely for Michael Olise, who has reportedly<\/a> attracted\u00a0serious\u00a0interest from Ineos ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Many see Olise as a perfect right winger to replace Antony, who has endured a frustrating 2023\/24 season. The outing in South London will also provide the Brazilian the opportunity to show he is capable of manning United’s right flank.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old registered his first Premier League goal of the season only last weekend, capitalising on Burnley’s mistake in the last quarter of the game to put United ahead at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Apart from Antony’s goal, another rare sight was a Sonic the Hedgehog toy involvement during celebrations.<\/p>\n

After calmly placing the ball past Arjianet Muric and into the back of the net, Antony celebrated the goal by tucking the ball underneath his shirt. He then went on to grab the stuffed toy from a photographer before holding it high.<\/p>\n

Explaining the move, the former Ajax star told MUTV<\/a>: “I’m\u00a0really happy\u00a0to be able to score and dedicate it to my wife and\u00a0my\u00a0daughter, who is on her way.\u00a0She\u00a0arrives in the world next\u00a0month,\u00a0in good\u00a0health\u00a0we hope.”<\/p>\n

“The Sonic celebration is because my son\u00a0really\u00a0likes Sonic. I told my friend to bring Sonic in his bag in case I scored, as I had a feeling I\u00a0was going to\u00a0score. It was for me to get Sonic and dedicate it to my son as he is a big fan.”<\/p>\n

The United number 21 has been so disappointing\u00a0going forward\u00a0this season that not many expected him to open his account against Burnley.<\/p>\n

As such, one cannot help but applaud his confidence\u00a0to\u00a0actually\u00a0prepare for such an intricate celebration beforehand.<\/p>\n

The United faithful will hope Antony can build on this and play against Palace with even more confidence and swagger.<\/p>\n
