Antonio is sure he would flourish with Scamacca but Moyes keeps pair apart
Evening Standard
|October 31, 2022
MICHAIL ANTONIO insists he and summer signing Gianluca Scamacca can play together, despite West Ham manager David Moyes's apparent reluctance to pair the strikers.
Antonio replaced Scamacca before the hour-mark in yesterday's 1-0 defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Moyes opting for a like-for-like change despite the Hammers trailing to Marcus Rashford's goal.
The same substitution prompted an angry reaction from away supporters when Scamacca was withdrawn while West Ham were chasing a winner at Southampton a fortnight earlier and Moyes has so far resisted calls to experiment with a front two, the duo yet to start a game together following Scamacca's £30.5million move from Sassuolo.
