“I am happy, and when I’m happy, everything tends to go well.
“For me, scoring goals and assisting is important, but happiness takes precedence.
“I have found my home here, and everything is progressing positively.”
Antony’s future with new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who has led the team to the Europa League final, remains unclear.
“As for the future? It’s too early for predictions,” the former Ajax player stated. “I’m unsure of what lies ahead.
“However, I am very content here. I have rediscovered my love for football.
“It’s an exciting time, and I recognize my own abilities.
“I chose to go where I knew I’d be fulfilled, even though I had better financial offers.”
