Erik ten Hag to unleash Man Utd secret weapon against Arsenal with big new signing set for debut

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly hoping to hand incoming new signing Antony his debut against Arsenal next weekend.

The Old Trafford outfit are closing in on the Brazilian winger after finally agreeing a fee of €95 million (£80.6million) with a further €5 million in potential add-ons following a protracted transfer saga. Ten Hag has targeted the 22-year-old to fill the void on United's right wing and hopes to make him the second player to follow him to the Premier League from former side Ajax this summer after the £55m capture of Argentinian defender Lisandro Martinez.

The transfer window closes on Thursday evening, when United will look to win a third successive Premier League match in the trip to Leicester. But TNT Sports journalist Arthur Quezada [via Sport Witness ] reports that Antony won't be involved for his new club at the King Power Stadium, with Ten Hag instead waiting until the Red Devils face Arsenal on Sunday to unleash his new signing.
