Man Utd: £200k-a-week star 'playing like Arjen Robben' at Old Trafford | OneFootball

Manchester United ace Antony is playing like Arjen Robben right now, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The £200,000 per-week star has enjoyed a great start to his Old Trafford career and Jones has compared him to the ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich winger.

What's the latest news involving Antony?

Following months of speculation, Antony finally made the switch to the Theatre of Dreams towards the end of the summer transfer window.

And the Brazil international has hit the ground running since swapping Ajax for Manchester United.

Antony was thrown in by Erik ten Hag for his debut against Arsenal just days after signing and has started every Premier League game since, while he's also featured heavily in the Europa League.

He's become a regular on the right-side of the front-three, often seen cutting in and shooting with his left, which is why Jones has compared him to Robben.

What did Jones say about Antony?

He told GIVEMESPORT: "Antony looks like Arjen Robben at the moment.

"He doesn't want to touch the ball with his right foot, but everything he does with his left foot seems to be pretty special and he does that thing where he cuts in on his left and he's looking to swerve it into that far corner."

How many goals has Antony scored this season?

Antony needed just 35 minutes before marking his Manchester United debut with a goal, coolly sweeping home the opener in the 3-1 victory over Arsenal last month.

After being slid in by Marcus Rashford, the Brazilian showed excellent composure to curl past Aaron Ramsdale to the delight of the Old Trafford crowd.

His next goal wasn't as important, but it was even more spectacular, with Antony producing a stunning long-range effort in the Manchester derby from distance.

Unfortunately for Antony, United were trailing 4-0 at the time and went on to lose 6-3, so his goal didn't receive the credit it perhaps deserved, but nevertheless, it was still a moment of magic.

Antony, who averages more shots than Cristiano Ronaldo, would then make it three goals as many top-flight games when he came up with another fine finish to equalise against Everton, and this time it counted for something as the Red Devils went on to win the game 2-1.

He hasn't found the net in his last three Premier League outings, but three goals in six league matches represents a fine start to his United career.
