Manchester United’s fifth summer signing Antony loved his new club’s 1-0 win against Leicester City tonight.
The 22-year-old Brazilian completed his move from Ajax earlier today, but the former Sau Paulo starlet was ineligible to make his debut at the King Power Stadium tonight.
However, the nine-time Brazil international is available to make his Red Devils bow on Sunday in a blockbuster clash against the early Premier League pace setters Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Antony reacts to Manchester United’s 1-0 win against Leicester City
Ajax’s former number 11 spoke in his interview with the club’s in-house media team how he loved watching United’s 2-1 win against Liverpool at the Theatre of Dreams last month.
But the South American superstar was tuning into watching his new teammates tonight, and he appeared to have enjoyed what he witnessed.
Jadon Sancho’s first half strike ensured Ten Hag’s side made it three consecutive Premier League wins, and the three points moved us up to fifth place in the league.
