New Man United Signing Antony Salutes Cristiano Ronaldo, Pledges to Learn From the ‘Best in the World’

• Manchester United winger Antony has described teammate and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo as the 'best in the world'
• Antony joined the Premier League giants in controversial circumstances when he abstained from training for days prior to his blockbuster move
• He had a 'Cinderella-like' start to his United career when he broke the deadlock as United ended Arsenal's winning run last weekend

New Manchester United acquisition Antony has eulogized teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Antony completed his much-anticipated switch to Man United in the closing stages of the summer window for a staggering $94 million.

And the Brazilian winger showed glimpses of why United splashed the cash on him when he scored on his debut for the Red Devils in his side's 3-1 victory over Arsenal.

He did not have a similar effect in the Europa League as Erik ten Hag's charges stumbled to a slim one-nil loss to Real Sociedad.

Sharing his thoughts about veteran forward and Cristiano Ronaldo, Antony admits it is such a pleasure to be working with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, whom he describes as the best in the world.

"I've come to help my teammates," he told Manchester United media in an exclusive interview. "Regardless of age, there's immense talent in all the players.

"Words can’t describe Cristiano, the best in the world. In just a few days, I've learnt a lot from him. He has an extraordinary mind and, whenever I talk to him, I take a lot from it.

"I'm sure that we have a strong attack and it's very promising for the future."

Full of flicks, tricks and purposeful movement, the 22-year-old forward took just 35 minutes to get on the scoresheet in a dazzling introduction to his new fans at Old Trafford. -
