Antony opened his Manchester United account by scoring against Arsenal at Old Trafford. The £85 million signing from Ajax gave United the lead with a composed left-footed finish in the 35th minute on his debut.
The winger gave the Red Devils the lead in a controversial first period, where Gabriel Martinelli saw a goal chalked off after Martin Odegaard was adjudged to have fouled Christian Eriksen in the build-up.
Antony was up against Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko on his first United appearance. Zinchenko returned to the Gunners' starting XI after missing out on the last two matchday squads through injury. The Ukraine international replaced Kieran Tierney in the team, and Paul Merson predicted that Zinchenko would struggle against the 22-year-old before a ball was even kicked.
