New Manchester United signing Antony turned down the opportunity to join Manchester City when Pep Guardiola wanted to sign him in 2019.
The Red Devils finally confirmed his official arrival at Old Trafford on Thursday morning, having agreed an £85million fee with Ajax earlier this week. He became the club’s fifth signing of the summer as Erik ten Hag continues to overhaul his new squad following his appointment at the end of last season.
The Brazil international signed a five-year deal until 2027, with the option for an extra year, worth around £200,000-a-week. He is expected to become a fixture on the right-side of United’s three-man attack and is their second most expensive ever signing, behind only Paul Pogba.
