Former Manchester United centre-back Mikael Silvestre has been encouraged by the 'promising start' Antony has made to life at Old Trafford, hailing the way he has quickly adapted.
Among manager Erik ten Hag's top transfer targets for much of the summer window, Antony sealed an £85.5million move, including add-ons, to M16 on transfer deadline day, following several weeks of speculation. He made his debut just three days later and scored in the 3-1 win over Arsenal.
The Brazilian, who worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, has started every game since arriving in M16 and has scored in each of his first three Premier League appearances. He scored a Goal of the Season contender in the 6-3 defeat to Manchester City and netted United's equaliser in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park.
