Manchester United star Antony has uploaded a brilliant reaction on social media after being selected in the Brazil squad for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. Along with elite players across the planet, Antony will lace up his boots for World Cup glory this month after the forward made his mark in the Premier League with some encouraging early-season performances.
After following Erik ten Hag from Ajax to Manchester, the 23-year-old has scored three goals in six outings domestically, as well as playing five matches in the Europa League.
Antony has been sidelined for the last three games in all competitions with a leg injury. However, it was thankfully not enough to derail his World Cup dreams and the player has booked his seat on the plane.
