Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has told Antony that it 'will not be an easy ride' at Old Trafford, after the Brazilian scored on his debut against Arsenal.

Erik ten Hag's side secured a 3-1 victory over the Gunners at the weekend, with Marcus Rashford scoring a brace after Antony had grabbed his first goal in a red shirt.

While Schmeichel was impressed by Antony’s first outing, he also urged fans not to put too much pressure on him as he expects the 22-year-old to encounter difficulties as he tries to adapt to his new surroundings.

"We all know that it’s a very big difference coming from other leagues into the Premier League and, on top of that, having to perform for Manchester United. "When it’s going well, they get praise and hopefully Antony can do well every game.

He played well and is grabbing all the headlines today. "But we don’t want to put too much pressure on him though and have to let this young man settle in and get used to the Premier League because it’s not going to be an easy ride for him.
