'I'm excited by what Erik told me about his plans and ambitions: Antony's first words as a Man United player
Speaking for the first time as a new Manchester United player, Antony said: "This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world. I'm thankful to everyone who has believed in me.
"Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. His style of football and coaching brings out the best in me, and I am excited by what he has told me about his plans and ambitions in Manchester."
"My time at Ajax was fantastic and I will always be grateful for the trust they put in me, but now I am ready for the next challenge, and I can’t wait to join my new team-mates and play my part in bringing success to Man United."
Man United officially announced Antony's €100 million transfer from Ajax on Thursday with the Brazilian reuniting with his former Eredivisie manager.
The 22-year-old won't be available for selection against Leicester City today but could make his debut when the Red Devils host Arsenal on Sunday.
