Manchester United star Antony has made the ‘perfect start’ to his Old Trafford career and is ‘ready for lift-off’, according to journalist Dean Jones. The Red Devils secured a fourth win on the bounce by overcoming Arsenal on Sunday and their deadline day arrival played a key role in the victory.
Manchester United took their summer spending beyond the £200million mark when they completed the £86million acquisition of Antony in the final hours of the transfer window.
Just a matter of days after making the switch from reigning Eredivisie champions Ajax, the nine-cap Brazil international wasted no time in making an impact.
Erik ten Hag threw Antony straight into his starting line-up when Arsenal headed to Old Trafford at the weekend, emphasising that his pressing capabilities could help to nullify the visitors’ threat.
