True to form, Antony reveals his secret to Man United fans

The 23-year-old Brazilian, who joined the club from Ajax in the summer of 2022, was quick to gain recognition from many thanks to his attractive attacking style on the pitch.

But the South American not only knows how to express himself on the pitch, but also off it, where he found support in ink to be able to tell part of his personal story through the art of tattooing.

Soon I am going to tattoo the favela in which he lived, because I also have it written on my boots, he anticipated, referring to the Inferninho neighborhood of São Paulo, where he grew up as a boy. After joining Erik ten Hag's team, the attacker explained the meaning of much of his tattoos, showing the importance he has always given to his origins and his family.

I have this one with my brother, who says that only those who are from the same place know what I have been through. The one on the neck is a pendant with a chain, and the full sleeve also has its own meaning, he commented back in September of last year.

The anecdote in the Tokyo Olympic Games

After winning the gold medal with his country at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games, the Brazilian also had an image of it tattooed on his left thigh to reflect his success on that occasion.
