Antony praises three Manchester United teammates after debut goal vs Arsenal

Fresh from completing his £85.1million move to Old Trafford from Ajax on transfer deadline day, the Brazilian was thrown straight into the starting line-up by manager Erik ten Hag. He replaced Anthony Elanga in the side, with Jadon Sancho switching to the left-flank.

Antony, who worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, marked his debut in memorable fashion with 35 minutes on the clock, connecting with Marcus Rashford's pass and burying a low, left-footed effort beyond Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. It was a measured finish from the 22-year-old and it threatened to blow the roof off of Old Trafford.
