Welcome to the club Anthony! He’s a very exciting young player with loads of flair so can’t wait to watch him play for us, hopefully at the weekend.

The transfer has been a little unsavoury, I don’t think any party has particular covered themselves in glory here but glad we have finally got this done as even though this is panic but territory, he was a primary target for the club.

I can see him being despised by every other team and everyone targeting the diving and playacting, so buckle in for your usual talking heads in the media to declare him a disgrace etc

Welcome, Antony! Will be a lot of pressure on him given his price tag but hopefully can live up to it.

Look forward to seeing him play.

He is in for a rough ride in England with that price tag, I really hope he can get them off his back with some good performances early on

He's got some mad acceleration. Seems to have very good control of the ball at high speed too.

Half the fans calling him shite would be the straw that breaks the camels back.

After a lot of angst, this summer might prove to be the best in 10 years. It's not often you get 5 transfers who become starters quickly. Lisandro, Malacia, Eriksen, Casimero and Antony should start a majority of our matches. Well done United!

Anyone know how tall he is? seems to be a pretty important attribute for playing in the PL nowadays.

Dear Antony,

I know you read this forum religiously, so I want to extend my thanks to you for forcing your way out of that little club. I say all this is jest. You'll get to know me when we become friends.

This is Shakesey

From the little I've seen of him, the thing that impressed me most is his tenacity.
It'll be great to see someone up front with a bit of fire in their belly.
Rashford, Martial and Sancho are all too soft for my liking.
Interesting point. Look at how our defence has improved since we dropped Shaw and Maguire who have both been indecisive, soft, hesitant and not anywhere near agressive enough.

Hopefully Anthony can have a similar affect on our attack to what Malacia and Martinez are having on our defence. We have been far too soft for fae too long.

We've massively overpaid for the geezer but I've got to say I'm very excited. Been a long time since we had a flair winger at the club with genuine balls. Probably young Cristiano, Kanchelskis or young Giggs? Nani to be fair to him as well but hopefully Antony will prove more consistent and the crowd won't get on his back at every opportunity.

There's an "ah" sound between the n and t, and the second n is pronounced like an m.

I'm a muppet at heart, so I'll be excited for this even though I've never heard of him before this summer.

A right sided midfielder that plays on the right side. Do my eyes deceive me?
