Antony explains Man Utd goal celebration after scoring on debut vs Arsenal

Antony has explained why he decided to celebrate like a tiger after he scored on his Manchester United debut in their 3-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday.

The 22-year-old made the £85million switch from Ajax on deadline day and was thrown straight into the deep end by Erik ten Hag as he was named in the starting XI for the game at Old Trafford. It was the only change from the side that beat Leicester City with Anthony Elanga making way, while Casemiro remained on the bench for the third successive game following his big-money move from Real Madrid.

Ten Hag's decision paid off in the end with Antony dazzling on his debut. The Brazilian showed confidence in the opening stages to take the ball in tight areas, pass with precision and cause Oleksandr Zinchenko plenty of issues.
