Kudus Mohammed is a better player than Antony - Ajax legend Marco van Basten

Ajax legend, Marco van Basten has rated Mohammed Kudus as a better player than Antony.

Kudus has been on an impressive form for the Dutch giants under interim boss John Heitinga.

The 22-year-old has shunned in a more advanced role for Ajax, scoring fourteen goals and providing three assists, this season.

Antony, who moved to Manchester United in a £86 million deal from Ajax last summer has come under pressure due to his poor performance.

Marco van Basten said Mohammed Kudus is a better player than Antony, as he labelled the former Nordsjaelland playmaker as an all-rounder.

"I find Mohammed Kudus a much better football player than Antony," he said on Ziggo Sport.

"Antony has his skills, but he is confused with the things he is trying to do!

"Kudus has much better technique and he knows what he is doing. Antony may be faster, but Kudus is smarter and more technical. He is much more of a footballer, you can place him anywhere on the pitch, an all-rounder for the team.

"In fact, I like him much better than Antony. He's more fun to watch play," he added.
