Antony was a surprise inclusion in Erik ten Hag’s starting lineup on Sunday afternoon.
Manchester United ’s £86m Deadline Day signing from Ajax had after all only had a couple of training sessions with his new teammates before the clash with Arsenal.
Despite this, and that he came into the game as United’s second-most expensive signing, there were no signs of pressure or trepidation. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He was lively in possession with almost an impudence to his play.
