'We are United!' - Antony sends strong message ahead of Manchester United pre-season

Antony has expressed his delight at returning to Manchester United training after the start of pre-season at Carrington.

Erik ten Hag's side formally returned to the training ground on Thursday to begin preparations for the new season. United host Wolves in their opening Premier League fixture at Old Trafford in around five weeks.

On Thursday, several of United's stars arrived at Carrington though those involved with their country do not report for pre-season until later in July. Dean Henderson, Lisandro Martinez, Donny van de Beek, Kobbie Mainoo and Antony have been at United's training base over the last week to continue their rehabilitation from injuries.

Antony sustained an ankle injury against Chelsea at the end of last season and missed the FA Cup final as a result. He's delighted to be back in training with the team ahead of his second season with United.
