Erik ten Hag convinced the Manchester United board to splash out an eye-watering £85million on Antony, making him the club's second-most expensive purchase after Paul Pogba.
And it's safe to say the Brazilian, who played under Ten Hag at Ajax, repaid his manager's show of faith with a superb start to life at Old Trafford after being thrown in the deep end with a start against Arsenal this Sunday.
Ahead of the match, Ten Hag explained his decision to play Antony ahead of the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, saying: "He knows the style we want to play and what we expect and demand. He can be an offensive threat with his speed in one on ones."
