While Antony has not scored since finding the back of the net against Everton last month, and missed the last three matches through injury, his start to life at Manchester United has still been positive. The Brazilian winger, who arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer, bagged three goals in his first three Premier League matches, and has also got supporters off their seats.
His transfer to United took a while to be finalised, but Erik ten Hag wanted to bring his former player to the club, and he managed to do so in the end. The Reds signed the 22-year-old in a deal rising to €100million, with Antony putting pen to paper on a five-year deal. He became the club's second-most expensive signing - arriving with immediate pressure.
For most of the summer, the Reds had been reluctant to meet Ajax's valuation of the player and club figures doubted a deal was doable at the start of July. However, Antony made his intention clear to sign for United and work with Ten Hag again, and the club were impressed with his desire to join them.
