Casemiro has provided an explanation as to why it was important for Manchester United to sign Antony over the summer.

The two Brazilians were brought to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window for a combined total of significant monetary compensation. Casemiro was acquired for a price of £60 million, and Antony was purchased for a sum of £86 million.

Both Antony and Casemiro had played for their respective countries' national teams prior to joining United, so they were familiar with one another. The central midfielder, who is 30 years old, has now provided his reaction to the late-breaking news that the Ajax player has been signed by the club.

In an interview with the official website of Manchester United, he stated, "I think it's really important to have such a quality player here [as Antony] with us." "Already, I was familiar with him from our country's national team.

"It is always important to have players of Antony's level on your team, and he had previously played with us in Brazil. It's not just him, either; we have a lot of other players who are very good."

Antony is in contention for Arsenal's "tough" test, according to Ten Hag.

On Sunday, United will take on a team that is currently in first place in the Premier League, and new star signing Antony could make his debut for the club.

Casemiro has explained that he has already begun to settle in England, and it has been reported that United's new winger has already been seen having fun in Manchester. He continued by saying, "It's great, really good, a really friendly club where I feel comfortable," praising the establishment.

"Since my first day here, I've been given everything I need to relax and enjoy myself. The fact that my teammates are always there to lend a hand makes me really happy.
