The summer transfer window for Erik ten Hag was unheard of, the confidence Manchester United gave him was unheard of, they gave him a huge amount to bolster the team, to the extent that it became the highest amount ever spent in the club's history, £225 million in signings, and one of them cost almost half that amount, this player came with a lot of pressure on him.
The second most expensive signing in the club's history, behind only Paul Pogba, who remains the player they have paid the most for. This recent signing came in to bolster an attack that was lacking the necessary complements to perform as they would like, as well as having injury prone attacking players such as Rashford and Martial.
Manchester United legend calls for renewal of player who could leave as a free agent
A week ago they were on the bench and now they are the heroes of Man Utd's victory
The club decided to spend almost £150 million on two Brazilians after losing the second game of the season in a row, bringing in Antony from Ajax and Casemiro from Real Madrid. Both signings were the most stellar thing they did, and they were last-minute signings in the face of the urgency of showing a change due to those two defeats, and that second one by 4-0 away to Brentford.
Ajax's Brazilian international, Antony, has slowly managed to convince himself that the pressure of being signed as the star signing has kept him calm, has not looked troubled and has even adapted to his 22 years quicker than five-time Champions League winner Casemiro, who has taken longer to make the Red Devils' starting line-up.
No other player in Manchester United's wider history has achieved this feat, and he has come in eager to win over the fans, continue to work with humility, support his team-mates, and take lessons from senior players. The story is beginning for Man Utd right winger Antony, who will show why this team sought him out despite his high price tag.
