Two Antony moments back up 'functional' claim he made before joining Manchester United

With three goals in his first three Premier League matches, Antony couldn't have made a stronger start to his Manchester United career. His flamboyant style was evident in his first outing against Arsenal, and the Brazilian winger has shown that he is able to add substance to his skill and trickery.

Although he is yet to register a goal or an assist in the Europa League, and has blanked in his previous three domestic matches, the 22-year-old has still shown that United manager Erik ten Hag was right to chase him all summer. Despite his electric start to life at Old Trafford, it is clear that the Brazilian is still settling in Manchester - and there is definitely more to come.

The Reds scored late to salvage a point against Chelsea on Saturday evening, with Casemiro heading home deep into stoppage time to cancel out Jorginho's late spot-kick. It was far from vintage United, but they were still impressive against Graham Potter's men, and were worthy of at least a point.
