Michail Antonio is not good enough to be playing for West Ham United and David Moyes needs to sell him in the summer.
The 32-year-old cannot start for West Ham anymore this season, after his disaster-class at Old Trafford against Manchester United yesterday.

Antonio has been a fine servant for the Hammers since making a £7 million move to the club from Nottingham Forest back in the summer of 2015 (Daily Mail).
However, the converted striker has regressed badly over the past 12 months at the London Stadium. He was absolutely awful during our FA Cup exit last night – Moyes said as much after the game.
And now his time with West Ham should come to an end in the summer in my opinion…
Michail Antonio is totally done at West Ham
Moyes has no choice but to sell the 32-year-old in the summer transfer window.
Antonio’s composure in front of goal last night was horrendous. His one on one finishing is atrocious and it costs us time and time again.
With Danny Ings now at the club and Gianluca Scamacca slowly returning to full fitness, the only role for Antonio now should be as an impact sub.
In February last year, Antonio put pen to paper on a new 3.5 year £100k-a-week deal at the London Stadium, according to the Sun.
Quite what we were doing handing out such a large and generous new contract to an injury prone, ageing attacker is anyone’s guess.
What matters now though, is rectifying that mistake. Moyes has to move him on in the summer.
West Ham attacker Michail Antonio has lost the only thing that made him so difficult to defend against – his pace.
And he’s totally done at this level now in my personal opinion.
