Antony reveals favourite moment in Manchester United career so far.
After joining from Ajax in the summer, Manchester United winger Antony has shared his favorite moment while wearing a Red Devils jersey.
United’s interest in Antony was originally made known in February 2022, and it grew after they hired Erik ten Hag as manager.
The Brazilian international moved to Old Trafford at the close of the summer transfer season for an initial £82 million after a drawn-out transfer drama.
Antony has mainly disappointed in a United jersey thus far, even if his record of seven goals in 30 appearances across all competitions is rather respectable and he contributed to the team’s Carabao Cup victory.
He made a fast start to life in England after scoring on his debut – a 3-1 win over Premier League leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford.

And in an interview with GQ, Antony picked out this moment as his favourite so far for United.
“I think my first [goal was my favourite moment]. It was like living a dream,” he said.
“Making my Manchester [United] debut, at Old Trafford, in a derby against Arsenal, and still scoring a goal? It is not possible to be more perfect.”
As mentioned, Antony has so far failed to live up to his monstrous price tag, though this is understandable as he is still only 23 and this is his first season in England.
But, his highlight reel is rather good. He has scored incredible long-range goals against elite teams like Manchester City and Barcelona, and most recently, he scored in United’s 4-1 victory against Real Betis at home.
Antony made a fast start to life in England, scoring in each of his first three Premier League games. However, he has not found the net in the league since the final goal of this stretch all the way back in September.
