Antony has faced challenges during his time at Manchester United, but he credits one teammate for helping him stay resilient. Despite his high price tag of £86m when signed in 2022, the Brazilian winger has struggled to meet expectations, only managing two goals and one assist in 30 appearances this season.
Fans have criticized him as one of the worst Premier League signings due to his performance. In an interview with United’s official website, Antony expressed his gratitude towards his teammate Diogo Dalot, who he considers more than just a friend.
According to Antony, Dalot has been a constant support at the club, providing advice and encouragement. The two share a motto: “the patient guy is unbeatable,” which they often discuss.
Antony’s spirits were lifted when he scored his second goal of the season in a thrilling 4-3 FA Cup victory against Liverpool, where he equalized in the final moments of regular time before securing the win in extra-time.
