Manchester United winger Antony has spoken about how Cristiano Ronaldo has helped him settle in at the club as he hopes to make an impact in his first months at the club.
Antony joined Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window after a drawn-out transfer saga as he wished for a move away from Ajax.
Manchester United had two transfer bids rejected before a third one was accepted, and the Red Devils had to spend big for him, as it ended up becoming the biggest transfer of the summer.
Now, Antony has revealed how Ronaldo has helped him settle in to life in Manchester and how he is helping his career at Manchester United.

"He has a beautiful history and he is a huge reference for those who are younger than him. Something flashes in my mind, like we play video games [of him], watch him on television and right now I share some moments with him, for me it is very rewarding. Like I said, I'm still young. I am 22 years old and I'm learning a lot from him."
Antony had a flying start to life at Manchester United, scoring the opener as he spurred his side on to a 3-1 win against Arsenal at Old Trafford on his debut for the club.
He hasn’t added much since, as matches in the Premier League have been postponed recently, but will have another big test on his hands soon as Manchester United travel to Manchester City.
