Manchester United marquee signing Antony promised to ‘always stand’ with Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman left Ajax for Old Trafford before the pair reunited for good on Tuesday.
Ten Hag took over from Ralf Rangnick after the end of last season and has wasted no time in attempting to stamp his authority on the United team. Antony is set to become the fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history after joining for an initial fee of £81.3 million.
Antony joined the iconic Amsterdam club from Sao Paulo in 2020, where he starred under Ten Hag. The attacker - who scored 24 goals and tallied 22 assists in 82 appearances for Ajax - becomes United's fifth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of his former Ajax team-mate Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro from Real Madrid, Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.
