Be happy if he is, just thought it be to soon, obviously shows what Ten Hag thinks of our attack that he’d rush him straight in compared to the situation with mctominay starting over Casemiro when he first signed

except it’s not the same situation at all.

For one Antony is fully fit, according to Ten Hag Casemiro isn’t.

Even more importantly, bar Martinez, Antony knows what ten hag wants better than anyone else in our squad. They worked together for 2 years. Casemiro still has to learn the manager’s system and methods.

Nani reborn at Old Trafford today you heard it here

 

[Pronewbie]

You know how bad we’ve been at RW when fans are hoping for Antony to perform at Januzaj’s early levels. No wonder many think MG at RW was great. I’m expecting average Nani.

 

[BrilliantOrange]

I really have a feeling he will start

YESSSSS

Starting him vs Arsenal seems too early to me have to say.

Its different for a winger than for a central defender/midfielder isnt it.. Plus Ten Hag knows him through and through already..

 

[The White Pele]

I’m excited. I hope he’s ready and hits the ground running with a big performance in a big game

 

[Chairman Steve]

Forwards are easier to give immediate starts than the other positions. Centre mid requires communication and positioning with other members of the team, which doesn’t come immediately as opposed to being an attacker which is more common sense.

We've had a lot of Nani comparisons already. I think Nani had more to his game, I would love him to be similar to Nani.

Beautiful and easy explanation, a lot of folks should read it several times.

Same. Was watching some of his performance highlights earlier vs Arse in that lovely 09/10 black kit at the Emirates when he truly burst onto the scene. If Antony can bring something close we'll be in for a treat

 

[Pronewbie]

Martinelli vs Antony is going to be riveting. I can see comparisons made throughout the season.

I think Nani even already had some great performances against Arsenal before that game. I remember the 4-0 FA Cup win in '08 where he was so good, he started taking the piss and juggling in his own half (much to SAF's bemusement).

Antony out for the rest of the season after somersault celebration goes wrong.

 

[mu4c_20le]

What a bargain.

 

[Amar__]

He will be a great player for us.

WELCOME TO MANCHESTER UNITED

 

[DWelbz19]

Left footed finished from the right wing. Profile we massively needed

 

[Raven]

Great that he got his debut goal.

 

[Bastian]

Left footed finished from the right wing. Profile we massively needed

We used to rely most on those goals by the one who shall not be named. If he can be as good as him I'll be delighted. Even if he's 75% of him.

 

[Chief123]

You just know we’re going to love this guy!!

Even his intensity and tracking back was brilliant. So many tackles!

 

[Idxomer]

Our Ant(h)onys always score on their debuts.

 

[RuudTom83]

Antony and Martinez have that fire inside...wonderful to watch.

 

[BrilliantOrange]

Looked a bit to me like he was trying to force it a bit too much.. He didnt look as comfortable yet as he did for Ajax.. But it will come. Not nothing to start immediately in such a match. So happy for him he got the goal.. He will be brilliant for us!

 

[Cloud7]

His defensive work rate is insane. Really glad he got a goal on debut so that is off his back

 

[King Eric 7]

You just know we’re going to love this guy!!

Yep. Defends really well too and looks like he wants to help the team defensively as well as being a flair player. We're going to love this guy.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

His defensive work rate is insane. Really glad he got a goal on debut so that is off his back

Not just his work rate but his passion for it is brilliant.

There was a moment where he tracked back and kicked the ball off an Arsenal player then looked at them and screamed "that's our throw" like it was life or death.

 

[calodo2003]

Loved him immediately kissing the badge.

 

[#07]

Dream debut for the kid. Delighted for him.

 

[Red Shorts]

Him, Sancho and Martial can make an incredibly dangerous front 3, and Rashford when in a counterattacking mood

 

[Robbie Boy]

Looks like he's going to be a fantastic fit for us

 

[Golden Nugget]

Brilliant - ran he socks off and definitely gave us much more balance on the wings. As many have mentioned - he tracks back a lot too which is great

 

[laughtersassassin]

I like him. Will be better when we have possession

 

[Tarrou]

got a goal and worked his bollocks off

didn't have the best game other than that but who gives a shit really

 

[RedRob]

You know how bad we’ve been at RW when fans are hoping for Antony to perform at Januzaj’s early levels. No wonder many think MG at RW was great. I’m expecting average Nani.

There was no such thing as average Nani. He was either unplayable or unwatchable.

Antony was clearly extremely keen to please, between the defensive work and a couple of "optimistic" shots, but overall a strong debut.

 

[Sandikan]

A bit of a loosener today, but still scored and had quite a few crosses and shots.
Good to finally have an attacker who can play on that side and favours it!

 

[AndySmith1990]

Good debut. Really happy we went all out to sign this guy. He's going to be brilliant for us I have no doubt

 

[GMoore23]

Nowhere near match fit yet still impacted the game.
He's a real cnut too which I love.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Great start. A goal against Arsenal at home. Really nice finish.

 

[Tony247]

What a debut. Great finish.

 

[charlenefan]

Cant ask for more than a decisive goal on ya debut

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Great debut.
