Antony has had a great week in a Manchester United shirt, scoring the goal that knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League on Thursday before starting in the victorious League Cup final over Newcastle on Sunday.
Speaking to the club’s official media, Antony has reflected on what it means to him to win his first trophy at the club and his determination to take United back to where we belong.
I’m very happy to win my first title here in my first season. Since the beginning, I was certain this group would put United back where it deserves. People need to respect this great club again. It’s the first trophy of many to come.
Antony has already won titles under Erik ten Hag in Ajax before the manager brought him along to Manchester.
This group of players is amazing. We’re very united. When you have a good environment between players and staff, you can’t go wrong. I’m not one to be happy with little, I want trophies and everything, and there are a lot of players that also think like that. This mentality is spreading within the squad and everyone is rowing the boat towards the same direction.
Erik is essential. His energy, confidence, intelligence and strategy are incredible. Everything he tells us before the match do, happens on the pitch, so he’s part of this. It’s my third trophy alongside him, we hugged after the match and he said there’s more to come. We have the same mentality.
