Manchester United new signing Antony has opened up on his move to Old Trafford – revealing he thanked Erik ten Hag for banking on him.
The 22-year-old has moved to the Premier League in a blockbuster £84million transfer deal.
And he’s eager to get started at his new club as he looks to hit the ground running.
Antony has been unveiled by United on Thursday, with the Samba star sporting their red, white and green colours for the very first time.
And the Brazil international, speaking to club media, has now revealed he thanked Ten Hag for pushing for his signing – with the pair previously working together at Ajax.
“Really, really, really grateful and happy,” he said when asked how he felt about Ten Hag fighting for his signing.
“I embraced him just now and thanked him in person for believing in my signing.
“I was really excited and looking forward to coming here and putting on this shirt. I’m grateful for the faith and confidence from Erik, not just Erik but all the directors here at Manchester United.
“I feel really grateful and happy and rest assured I will repay this faith on the pitch by giving 100 percent.”
