Antony hasn’t had the best time at Manchester United, but the winger says one friend has supported him through it all.

The Brazilian was purchased by United for £86 million in the summer of 2022, but despite a promising start, he has failed to live up to expectations.

Fans believe that, given how much he cost, the 24-year-old should be in contention for the worst Premier League contract of all time, as he has only scored two goals and set up one in 30 games this season.

‘I’m really thankful to God and a friend I speak with frequently,’ he told United’s website.

Diego Dalot is more than simply a friend; he assists me at the club on a daily basis. We always tell each other, “The patient guy can’t be beat.”

Squawka Live on X: “Antony’s game by numbers vs Nottingham Forest: 82 touches. 36 final third passes. Seven shots. Seven passes into the box, seven touches in the opposition box, and four duels won.

“We talk about it all the time.” As a result, I am grateful for his advice and the time we spent chatting. He has been quite helpful to me.

Antony netted his second goal of the season in the thrilling 4-3 FA Cup victory over Liverpool. Things may be looking better for him now.
