Antony thanked Casemiro, Fred, Lisandro Martinez, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot and David de Gea as he praised the Manchester United teammates who have helped him to settle in this season.
United signed Antony from Ajax in a deal rising to €100million (£85.5m) last summer and the player's debut season has been a mixed bag, as there have been glimmers of talent but he's only been able to contribute eight goals and three assists.
Erik ten Hag was desperate to sign the 23-year-old, but there was a feeling the club were investing such a large transfer fee into him because of his potential and the player that he could become, not the winger he currently is.

Regardless, Antony has admitted he now feels settled and accustomed to life at Old Trafford, which can only be a good omen for next season.
“I feel like I’ve settled in and grown accustomed to the city of Manchester,” Antony told Inside United magazine. “There are quite a few Brazilians here. Me and Casemiro are always hanging out, we're always doing something. “I’ve settled into the city and I’m loving life here. I hope I can spend a long time here. Definitely [knowing Casemiro, Fred and Martinez helped], and not just those guys, but Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot [have helped] as well.
“They've helped me a lot, as has our keeper, David [De Gea]. Having this support, being able to get advice from them, have them show me around and introduce me to things means a great deal. “I’m really happy to have been welcomed in like this by all the players here.”
