Both Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes harbour some concerns over the fee Manchester United paid for Ajax winger and Brazilian international Antony.
The 22-year-old set the Red Devils back a cool £84.4million and considering his return of just eight league goals last term, that figure has raised eyebrows. However, both of the aforementioned Red Devils legends agree that Antony is going to need plenty of time to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League before he can be properly judged and the price tag should not weigh heavy on him.
Scholes discussed the idea of English clubs paying a premium for talent from other leagues in Europe, before telling BT Sport : "Of course, they will take advantage of any club, we have seen it all summer with Chelsea paying over the odds for players. I feel a bit for the lad, he obviously wants to come to Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world.
