Marco Van Basten believes that his compatriot Erik ten Hag wasn't right for acquiring the Brazilian winger instead of the African player

The wrong one you've got! That's what Dutch football legend Marco Van Basten thinks about Manchester United's decision to buy Ajax's former winger Antony instead of his then-teammate Mohammed Kudus.

Van Basten believes the Ghanaian international is better than the Brazilian, who he described as 'confused'.

The legendary centre-forward feels Kudus is the more entertaining player, despite the Brazilian's ability to display eye-catching flair.

"I find Mohammed Kudus a much better football player than Antony,' Van Basten said on Ziggo Sport on Monday evening.

"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."

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