Manchester United has completed the signing of Antony from Ajax on Thursday for a fee reported to be 95 million euros (£81.3m), making him the fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history.
Manchester United Football Director, John Murtough, noted that Antony’s desire to play for the club despite missing out on Champions League football this season had impressed him.
The 22-year-old Brazilian international forward has signed a contract until 2027, with the option of an additional year.
The fee includes a potential five million euros of add-ons.
Antony has scored 31 goals in 134 club appearances for Ajax and Sao Paulo, and two goals in nine senior appearances for Brazil.
Veteran goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is expected to join as well from Newcastle United as back-up to David de Gea.
United have recovered from a dire start to the Premier League campaign and bid to win their third successive match later on Thursday against out-of-form Leicester.
