Antony has revealed that he spoke with Fred, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez before making his move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
United officially completed the transfer of Antony from Ajax on deadline day, with the Brazilian forward initially signing a five-year contract with the option of an additional year.
Antony has become the second-most expensive signing in the club's history, and he'll be looking for support from a number of close friends in order to adapt quickly to life in England.
