Manchester United have agreed on a deal to sign Antony.
The club had agreed an £84million deal to sign the Brazilian winger and is United’s fifth signing of the summer.
Club legend Rio Ferdinand explains how this signing would help one specific player.
“What does Antony bring? He brings his trickery, he brings that unpredictable Brazilian element, a fantastic technical football player, plays on the right-hand side of the front three, cutting in on his left foot – he’s left-footed predominantly,” Ferdinand told his FIVE YouTube channel.
“He’s a man who’s a box full of tricks. He’s someone who wants to beat people but he has got an eye for a pass as well, he can create, he can slide balls through for the attacking players and people who make good runs off of him.
He [Antony] also wants people running off him and I think he’s better when he’s playing short passes and moving and running and that Ajax way.
“If Erik ten Hag can get the attacking formula working like that it’ll really suit him and I think it’ll suit someone like Sancho as well. He likes that short pass and movement game, he may be a little bit more explosive but he definitely brings that excitement factor that Old Trafford like in their wingers.”
