The important thing about Antony's signing is that we have not had a through-and-though-winger-with flair since the old Nani/Giggs/Ronaldo days.
Rashford, Ronaldo, Martial are not a real winger
Sancho has some No. 10 in him
Elanga is a squad player with little flair, he is not a typical wing either.

Young/Valencia were not "flair" players; and Depay, Januzaj, etc were not typical wingers

we need a "through-and-though-winger-with flair" to unluck some defences.

Arent these traditional wingers anachronistic nowadays in our supposedly modern football?
 
I can't stress enough how important this signing was. United's right flank will look so much better with his creativity.
 
This guy can really define our season. Game changer player that rarely come around.
 
He looks just looks like a star, I think he will come off the bench against Arsenal and the crowd will be PUMPED.

if the game is tied/we are losing I can imagine him turning it instantly. Haven't looked forward to seeing a player at united this much in a long time.
 
I don't have a long history of following EtH's tendencies or anything but it seems like he is a stickler for fitness first and then contributing in practice/knowing the gameplan. So it would not surprise me if Antony were held out and used as a sub.

Basically load the kids early and run Arse back with energetic press and defense, then as the game settles in make the changes. If the side goes down early then you have vet subs to make to hopefully turn the tide.

For the record though I'd start Antony in this one. But EtH seems to have his own code with all that and there seems to be a method to the madness. I do figure that Case starts. It does seem like it's time on that one.
 
We're building a team of piss boilers. I fecking love it.

I came here to say the exact same thing, Antony will infuriate opposition players and him and Martinez are proper bastards which we’ve not had for a long time.
 
Just a massive middle finger to all the 'he's too expensive' people. Shuts them right up. I love it.
 
Love the way he’s pointing at McTominay and Dalot behind him where to position/press from Arsenal’s goal kicks.

Imagine we kept Henderson, biggest cnut of them all
 
Great start for the lad, so happy for him.

That said he got a little bit over excited at times, hopefully he calms down second half and makes the correct choices rather than worldie passes and shots.

Having said that, what a start for him. Brilliant stuff.
