Erik ten Hag has claimed that Antony does not need to prove himself at Manchester United ahead of a potential debut against Arsenal on Sunday.
Antony was finally unveiled as a United player on Thursday after an arduous series of negotiations that lasted the entire summer transfer window. Ajax agreed to let the 22-year-old leave for an initial fee of €95million (£82.2m) that could eventually rise to €100m (£86.5m).
Although the Brazilian was not registered in time to play in United's 1-0 win over Leicester City, he could make his debut at Old Trafford on Sunday when the Reds take on Arsenal. Ten Hag will know just how dangerous Antony can be from their time together at Ajax, and is confident that the explosive winger has the right mentality to succeed in the Premier League.
