Manchester United's new £85.5m man Antony trains with team-mates for the first time

New Manchester United forward Antony has trained with his team-mates for the first time days out from the club's clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

Antony, 22, joined the club in a deal worth £85.5m from Dutch giants Ajax, reuniting with his former boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

After a saga that appeared to drag on for much of the window, United finally got their man after Ajax relented under growing pressure both from the fee offered and Antony's insistence he be allowed to depart.
