      The Brazil international joined United following an £86million deal on deadline day during the summer and became the club’s second most expensive signing after Pogba.
      And the 22-year-old has now moved into the France international’s old £3million mansion in Hale Barns.
      Pogba left United – and the huge home – over the summer to re-join Juventus on a free transfer.
      The five-bedroom home comes with a raft of luxuries that will help Antony relax amid his intense schedule this season.

      The house features a diamond-encrusted staircase and a mini football pitch with synthetic grass, electronic scoreboard and LED lighting.
      There is also a gym, a heated swimming pool and as a sauna to help the Brazilian rehabilitate.
      However, Antony has already revealed he is planning to change one thing in the house following Pogba’s departure.
      That is the pool table which was customised by the World Cup winning midfielder, who emblazoned his initials on it.

      The Brazilian plans to remove the “PP” and replace it with an “AS” for “Antony Santos”.
      Antony told ESPN recently: “Yeah, there was an old owner, but I’m going to need to change this [pool table cover], this ‘PP’. It was Paul Pogba’s house. There is a ‘P’ from Pogba still here.
      “This is one of the things he made, so I’m going to start to change, right? I need to put the ‘AS’ for Antony Santos.
      “He isn’t staying here anymore. Yeah, he [Pogba] has a high standard, but I’m happy to be in the house that belonged to a star player.”
      Antony has hit the ground running at United as he has already registered five goals and two assists in nine appearances across all competitions.
      The ex-Ajax star also became the first ever player to score in all of his first three Premier League matches for the Red Devils on Sunday against Everton. More

      Man Utd stars will look at Marcus Rashford and think he doesn’t work hard enough and Garnacho has to start, says Parker

      United have bounced back from this month’s 6-3 derby defeat at Man City with narrow wins over Omonia and Everton.
      But Ten Hag will be looking for further improvements when his side host the Cypriot minnows in Thursday’s Europa League clash at Old Trafford.
      One man who will be hoping to make an appearance from the off is 18-year-old Garnacho.
      The Argentina youth international is rated as United’s brightest prospect.

      However, Garnacho has made just three sub appearances so far this season.
      And he has plenty of competition in the forward line, with even Cristiano Ronaldo unable to command a regular spot.
      However, Parker believes Garnacho has plenty to offer United, advising Ten Hag to start the teen as he has “fire in his belly.”
      Parker told BeMyBet: “I think really you have to look at what you got within the squad.

      “There’s a younger player, Alejandro Garnacho. Everyone was kind of talking about him in the pre-season.
      “Garnacho has a bit of him, he’s tenacious and he’s got a bit, a lot of Argentinians are playing with a fire in the belly and are a bit fiery, and he’s got a competitive edge.
      “And I think someone like him maybe needs a run. With good players around him, he could probably perform quite well.”
      Parker also hinted Garnacho’s inclusion could come at Rashford’s expense.
      The striker, 24, has enjoyed an upturn in form under Ten Hag, scoring five goals in nine games.
      But Parker believes Rashford’s work rate tracking back could be improved vastly.
      Parker reckons the pressure is off for now, but Rashford should work harder off the ball or else risk being “embarrassed”.
      Parker added: “Looking at Rashford, he is not in a position where his teammates will look at him and think he will work hard enough.
      “They won’t look at him to win the ball back after he loses it.

      “It’s not about him having great games, it’s about doing your best to help your teammates.
      “He should have a bit of fright about him because he doesn’t want to be embarrassed when he walks around the town.” More

      The five-time Ballon d’Or winner got his chance to score what would be only his second goal of the season as he started against Omonia in Nicossia.
      The star forward led the attack but couldn’t register his 700th career goal, with the Red Devils finding themselves trailing 1-0 on 34 minutes after ex-Nottingham Forest ace Karim Ansarifard’s opener.
      But thankfully for the Manchester giants, it all changed after Rashford and Martial came off the bench as they scored within minutes of their introduction.
      Rashford equalised in the 53rd minute, just eight minutes after he replaced Jadon Sancho.

      And Martial turned things around in the 63rd minute, just a minute after he took Bruno Fernandes’ place.
      United fans took to Twitter after that development and stated how sorry they feel for Ronaldo, who fired blanks once more after missing a sitter on 78 minutes when he hit the post from close range.
      Many are now expecting the United legend to continue playing back-up to Rashford and Martial.
      One supporter tweeted: “Feeling for Ronaldo, ngl [not gonna lie] this is painful to watch.”

      This fan said: “Rashford-Martial-Antony. Sadly, Ronaldo has past it.”
      And another tweeted: “Ronaldo, my GOAT, is finished. End of an era.”
      But Ronaldo still got an assist as he created Rashford’s second, who sealed a 3-2 win after Nikolas Panayiotou’s strike. More

      Since that transfer, Ten Hag has reminded Antony of his defensive responsibilities in all United’s training sessions at Carrington.
      The message was reinforced to the 22-year-old before the clash with Manchester City at the Etihad.
      But Antony seemingly forgot those instructions much to the frustration of his manager and right-back Diogo Dalot, who had no protection.
      At one point in the rout, Dalot  remonstrated with Antony, who scored a scorching 30-yard strike, as he was constantly exposed down the flank by both Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva.

      Dalot walked a tightrope from the second-minute yellow card for bringing down Grealish.
      There was not much help for left-back Tyrell Malacia  from Jadon  Sancho either.
      New-boy Malacia also picked up a booking in the first half after a loose Marcus Rashford pass set Phil Foden away.
      United were 4-0 down by the break  before losing the game 6-3.

      “Marcus Rashford, when he first burst into the team as a young player you thought ‘he’s the real deal’. He’s stood still.
      “If you were to ask me today, next week, big game – for all his shortcomings, Ronaldo, I would have played him in front of Rashford.”
      Ten Hag issued a bizarre excuse when asked why he didn’t have Ronaldo involved in the weekend.
