Despite completing the switch mid-last week, Erik ten Hag did not waste time integrating him into his team, with the Dutchman handing him his debut with a starting role against Arsenal on Sunday, September 4.

And the 22-year-old did not waste time proving to United fans what he can offer as he scored on his debut with the team's opener in their 3-1 win over the Gunners.

Bruno Fernandes fires warning to Antony

Speaking on Antony's performance, Fernandes described his new teammate as an amazing footballer.

He, however, warned that a lot of pressure will be on him after he marked his Premier League bow with a goal.

"He didn’t have many training [sessions] with us, but he was really good," Fernandes said via Metro UK.
"But we expect much more from him, he knows that. Big pressure on him, and we will put even more pressure on him because we know what he is capable of doing," he added.
