I have the same personality, he knows me well and knows what I'm like. The way he competes, the way he plays he gives his heart and soul on the pitch. "We never played together because of the age difference but to be sharing a dressing room and pitch and playing alongside him now is really something special. "I'm really happy that we've both come from the same place, the Sao Paulo youth set-up and, today, we're playing together at this great club. I love it and it motivates me to see him play. "I gave Fred a hug this morning and was in constant contact with Casemiro over the phone.

The 22-year-old Brazilian international forward has signed a contract until 2027, with the option of an additional year.

"This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world," Antony said in a statement on Manchester United's website.

Manchester United have completed the signing of a new goalkeeper for the 2022/23 Premier League season.

"It was a difficult time; I just tried to keep my head down, be positive and work myself back into playing - and here we are. The first win would be a massive win because we’re hungry for it. Leicester City have not lost any of their last five matches against Manchester United, winning three of those, and the Nigeria international is optimistic the fans can cheer them to another positive outing.

My focus is now on helping Manchester United, and we’ll see what the future holds after I have given my all this season.

KING POWER STADIUM, LEICESTER — Although transfer deadline day is dominating the headlines, there is some football to be played tonight, too, as Leicester ...

20 mins to KO: The Red Devils are searching for a first win in six over Leicester. United strike as Rashford plays a nice short ball behind Leicester's last man and into the path of Sancho, who gets beyond Danny Ward and slots in coolly. 30th min: United are quite happy to keep possession now, with the scoreline giving Christian Eriksen a chance to start purring from his deep midfield position. Fernandes then plays in his compatriot for a third chance, but Ronaldo goes too wide and there are no teammates to meet his ball across the box. Ronaldo is of course up top, with Rashford moving to the left. HALF-TIME: Boos from a smattering of home fans as the players head down the tunnel. Moments later, the Brazilian made an interception in a dangerous area and then immediately played a great cross-field ball to Fernandes on the right flank. But that in itself will satisfy the Dutchman, who rode the rockiest of waves to start his United career, and has now enjoyed a memorable win over Liverpool to stem the tide and some plain sailing with back-to-back away victories. Ronaldo was surprisingly strong from the bench, too, crafting several opportunities to extend the lead, and being lively across the frontline. The Red Devils held on to end a run of five games against Leicester without a win, and ensure spirits are high ahead of Sunday’s huge home clash with league leaders Arsenal. United took their foot off the gas and controlled proceedings with comfort, as Leicester struggled to make any inroads. The former Borussia Dortmund star had began the game well, interchanging with Bruno Fernandes and each of United’s attacks seeming to flow through him.

The hosts did have a chance to bag an equaliser in second-half stoppage time when James Justin wass played through on goal, but the full-back blazed his effort over the crossbar from close range as United held on for the win. United almost put the game to bed on 82 minutes when Ronaldo attempted to tee up Eriksen in the box, but former United defender Jonny Evans popped up with a vital clearance in the six-yard box. United manager Erik ten Hag went with an unchanged line-up for a third straight game, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Casemiro had to make do with a place on the bench once again.

Jadon Sancho lifted Man United past Leicester City and the Red Devils look more confident than they have in a while. But attacking concerns persist.

Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still -- we need not only a team we need a squad." Manager United manager Erik Ten Hag on the win: "It is another step forward so I am happy with that. Replacing him will be impossible, but Leicester need to find a younger striker with the ability to score as regularly as Vardy used to.

Here is ESPN's Mark Ogden with reaction and analysis:

Manchester United can confirm that Tahith Chong will leave the club after a permanent transfer was agreed with Birmingham City, subject to registration.

The 22-year-old now heads back to St. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Tahith for everything he’s achieved at United and wish him the best of luck in his future career. Chong gained valuable first-team experience on loan at Werder Bremen and then Club Brugge during 2020/21.

It's the first time that they won back-to-back away games in nearly a year. Don't have to be the finished product but we need to know what it looks like." It's the third game in a row in which Ronaldo, 37, has come off the bench. Eriksen just goes from strength to strength, so, everything's really good for Manchester United,' the former Stoke City defended added. We've seen the left back position as well, Malacia.

Wolves v Southampton (15:00) Tottenham v Fulham (15:00) Here is the full schedule... Last weekend also marked the 11-year anniversary of our historic 8-2 victory in the fixture. United triumphed 3-2 in a memorable game against Arsenal when this fixture was last played at Old Trafford, back in December 2021. Arsenal's tone-setting 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the opening day was followed by 4-2 and 3-0 victories over Leicester and Bournemouth, respectively. Despite losing our opening game 2-1 to Brighton, followed by a heavy 4-0 defeat on the road to Brentford, the Reds bounced back against Merseyside rivals Liverpool. The Swede was part of our matchday squad in the Midlands and could be again on Sunday. Victor Lindelof returned to training before the Leicester game, but did not feature at the King Power Stadium.

Antony and Casemiro are in line for their Old Trafford debuts against Arsenal for Man United in the Premier League this weekend.

We have a base but there's still a lot of room for improvement." "We have to do that and improve from game to game. But also out of possession, we are making good steps. We are constructing and that's good to see. "Tomorrow we have a team session and on Saturday we have a team session. I'll think about it and we'll take a decision.

Hear from the boss as he chats about team news, the transfer window and the trip to Old Trafford.

That is the only reason why we are here, and we have to continue to do that. We have obviously tried to get everything done that we can, and sometimes you have to get the right balance. Yesterday it was a real possibility and we tried, but then we kept the decision to say that it has to be the right player for the team and for the club. I think we have learned a lot from that and there's still the players that we have to get out. We have gone through things like that when we hadn’t won at Stamford Bridge for 20 or something years, but you need to believe that you will do that. We have to go into the market and the other teams and coaches are going to tell you how good you are, what your value is and what you’ve done. The attitude of the player is there and he’s really disappointed to be out again as you can imagine, and the team needs him when he’s back. He called me really late last night and it was more of a conversation that we used to have when we were teammates and really good friends. There is nothing else we can do, we have an academy as well that we have to use, and we’ll try to utilise the players in the best possible way. Then we had to react in the market and we tried, but at the end of the day we have to bring in the player that we feel is right for the team and for the club and we didn’t manage to do that. I think that there have been moments when the history and the media were talking about it, and the special rivalry between certain players built a certain momentum into it. No, we had a lot of things still to do in the squad, you see the amount of departures, compared to the number we have recruited.

Erik ten Hag's plan for major surgery in such a short time at Manchester United is both ambitious and flawed with Antony's arrival signalling the audacious ...

(It’s also worth remembering that he lost a child five months ago, and has every excuse to be distracted.) And yet the arrival of Antony is perhaps the clearest signal yet that Ten Hag is intending to build a team without him: quick, mobile, unpredictable and with multiple threats from multiple angles. This in itself is a quietly revolutionary development: junking the club’s star signing from a year ago after a season in which he scored 18 league goals. The expectation is that Antony, a left-footer, will slot in on the right, a long-standing problem position for United. This was a process that even Alex Ferguson took years rather than months to implement, seeking out not just winning talents but winning characters, players who would fight for each other, players who could play to a plan. He dribbles at speed, cuts inside for the cross or shot, presses with energy and “grinta”: an Italian term that Ten Hag loves to use for players with grit, guts, the will to fight and win at all costs. It is a trick that Pep Guardiola has often sought to deploy, and it serves a dual purpose. Having tried and failed to leave the club, Ronaldo has found himself on the bench ever since the Brentford game. All the red flags are present and correct, given what we know about United, and particularly United in the transfer market, and particularly United in the transfer market in the final week of the window after a bad start to the season. The sense of urgency and panic. The mechanics of Antony’s transfer are emblematic of United’s many dysfunctions. It brings Manchester United’s spending this window to about £200m plus potential add‑ons, and together with the signings of Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martínez means United are responsible for about 48% of the Eredivisie’s entire summer transfer income. It’s the 13th most expensive transfer of all time, slotting in between Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
