Man Utd Finally Confirmed The Signing Of Anthony From Ajax

 


Manchester United has finally lay their hands on the player they have been chasing. The skillful player will now join fellow Brazilians - Casemiro and Fred. 

Antony was signed from Ajax for an initial fee of 95m euros (£82m). The deal includes a potential 5m euros (£4.3m) of add-ons. He is now the fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history.



 Antony was asked which players from his homeland he viewed as role models when he was a youngster.

“There are a lot, but as I really like dribbling it would be Ronaldinho and Ronaldo as well,”  “They are players I always admired because of their dribbling, something I have always liked and I carry it with me today. There are a lot of players, though these two stand out for me.”



A penchant for high-speed dribbling and flair has evidently rubbed off on the silky Antony, who regularly showcases flicks and tricks during matches.

“My strength is my technique, dribbling, creativity,” he explained. “I think creativity in attack is my main strength. Dribbling, passing, playing good balls into my teammates, I think these are my strengths and the difference I make.”



Asked what he enjoys doing most on the pitch, the 22-year-old responded: “Dribbling – it’s the Brazilian way, isn’t it? Dribbling, speed, scoring goals and celebrating with the fans and everyone else.”
