​Man Utd legend Schmeichel sends warning to new signing Antony | OneFootball

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel insists 'it will not be an easy ride' for new boy Antony in the Premier League.

The Brazilian winger began with a bang for the Red Devils, scoring with a neat finish to open his account against Arsenal in a 3-1 home win on Sunday.

The attacker, who came off in the second half for Cristiano Ronaldo, is expected to add creativity, assists, and goals to the United team this season.

"We spent a lot of money on him and you need to put your faith in the manager a little bit and believe that he knows what he's bringing in," Schmeichel said on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"We all know that it's a very big difference coming from other leagues into the Premier League and, on top of that, having to perform for Manchester United.

"When it's going well, they get praise and hopefully Antony can do well every game. He played well and is grabbing all the headlines today.

"But we don't want to put too much pressure on him though and have to let this young man settle in and get used to the Premier League because it's not going to be an easy ride for him. It's not an easy ride for anyone coming to this league and especially playing for United.

"We've seen it many times before. Let's enjoy that he played really well and have a laugh at where he celebrated his goal [in front of the Arsenal fans]."
