The Reds are currently preparing to face Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night in a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at The City Ground, with a place in the final at Wembley Stadium up for grabs. 

Erik ten Hag’s men will then move on to an Emirates FA Cup fourth-round tie against Reading at Old Trafford on Saturday evening and an opportunity to secure safe passage to the last 16.

United have not lifted a trophy since the 2017 Europa League and the squad is determined to end the club’s drought this season.

Indeed, the improving Reds are the only English team still fighting for success in four competitions, including the Premier League and Europa League. 

Antony knows how to win major trophies from his time at Ajax, where he lifted two Eredivisie titles and the KNVB Cup under the leadership of Ten Hag.  

In a post on social media, the exciting 22-year-old addressed a big week for the team and also underlined his unrelenting desire to progress as a Red. 

“Important week for us!” wrote the Brazilian on Twitter. 

“Seeking to evolve to give my best to the team! It has always been a dream to be here and I will give all I have to honour this club because we are stronger together.”

Antony hopes to make his 20th United appearance on Wednesday night and build momentum in the second half of his debut season. 

So far, the young Brazil international has scored five times and won two Goal of the Month awards, for his efforts against major rivals Arsenal and Manchester City.
