Manchester United, the English Premier League football club, announced on Thursday in a statement that it had completed the signing of Brazilian winger Anthony from Dutch champions Ajax Amsterdam.
United added that they have signed 22-year-old Anthony to a five-year contract with an option to renew for another year.
And Anthony previously played under current United manager Dutchman Erich Ten Hag in the Dutch champions.
“This is an important moment in my career as I join one of the best clubs in the world,” Anthony said on United’s official website.
