Antony identifies four players who have helped him settle at Manchester United

Manchester United attacker has spoken of how he was immediately welcomed into the fold at Old Trafford following his move from Ajax.

Antony made an impressive start to his United career - scoring in his first three Premier League matches - but has missed the last four games through injury. However, the attacker has been included in Tite's Brazil squad for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, and could be back in time for their first match against Serbia.

The 22-year-old has since opened up on his first few months in Manchester, suggesting that it was easy to adapt to his new surroundings thanks to his teammates.

"I'm feeling great. I was received by everyone in a very nice way. There are several Brazilians from the national team; [Lisandro] Martinez, who was my teammate at Ajax, and also the Portuguese players (Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes). They made it easy for me to adapt," he told AS.

Antony also insisted that Erik ten Hag's side are capable of fighting for titles this season, but admitted that it is 'natural' a team goes through changes following the arrival of a new manager.

He added: "We have a very strong team and a new working method with the arrival of a new coach. It is natural that the team goes through changes and adaptations. But I am absolutely certain that we can perform throughout the season and fight for the titles. We have a great group."
