Fantasy Premier League has revealed how much Manchester United’s new signing Antony will cost after completing his move from Ajax.
The 22-year-old is ineligible to make his Red Devils debut in tonight’s trip to Leicester City.
But he could make his bow for the twenty-time league champions in Sunday’s heavyweight clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
The nine-time Brazil international who will reunite with his former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag will no doubt be looking to score on his debut against the Gunners at the Theatre of Dreams.
After being brought to Amsterdam from Sau Paulo two years ago by Ten Hag, Ajax’s former number 11 scored on his debut for the Dutch giants.
Fantasy Premier League reveal how much Manchester United’s new signing Antony will cost
Antony is Ten Hag’s fifth summer signing and as well as reuniting with the Dutchman, the Brazilian superstar will link up with familiar faces Lisandro Martinez, Fred and Casemiro.
Manchester United fans in particular would have been eagerly anticipating how much Antony will cost in the popular Fantasy Premier League.
The dazzling winger will cost managers £7.5m.
With Antony likely brought in to primarily play from the right-hand side, it could mean the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga will have to battle for the left-wing position.
Elanga costs £4.9m, Rashford £6.3m and Sancho is £7.3m.
Only Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£10.3m) are more expensive than the Brazilian whizkid in the Manchester United side.
