Manchester United has been in some drama lately, especially with their star player Cristiano Ronaldo and it appears that this might speculatively have affected the other players. It is no surprise that Antony and Ronaldo are close, there have been talks about their closeness.
The treatment towards Ronaldo could be one of the causes that Antony skipped his training for the club. Manchester United fans did not have polite things to say about Antony and Sancho skipping their practice.
According to this Facebook post, where it was alleged in the Manchester United fan that the two youngsters were not in their training.
Some even stated that the club has Garnacho, Rashford and Martial. Other fans were stating that Pellistri should be given a chance to play on the field. It appears that Manchester United’s manager is trying to make new stars of his own by placing some of the club stars on the bench.

However, other fans are stating that the two players are absent from the training due to the rest needed to play against Aston Villa. They are the key players in the team and would need proper rest for said important match.

According to this Twitter post, the two players are missing the trip to Spain for their match against Real Sociedad. A netizen responded stating that Sancho is ill and Antony is recovering from a previous injury.
This might be the more plausible cause for the two to have been absent from the training and to not be listed for this upcoming game. United fans are worried that the two would not be joining against Sociedad, but responses to that was that the latter’s team has 70% of their main players absent as well.
Most of the players that are absent either in the Premier League matches or the Champions/Europa League ones are probably due to injuries or extra training/rest for the upcoming World Cup.

Netizens are also questioning Sancho’s health. To them it is a concern as the English player always has some ailment that would not allow him to play often. Someone then brought up the fact that Ronaldo has been playing for a long time and has not been consecutively ill during a season.
There were suggestions on how to play their match against Sociedad by having Ronaldo and Rashford together in the middle, Bruno on the right and Garnacho on the left. Others alleged that once a player gets benched, they tend to get “ill” or “unwell.”
