(Video) Manchester United star reacts to De Gea’s exit and sets Premier League title target

Antony was enjoying the Formula One this weekend ahead of Manchester United’s opening pre-season fixture.

The Brazilian was soaking up the sun at the British Grand Prix this afternoon, prior to the Red Devils’ return to action on Wednesday, July 12, when they’ll take on rivals Leeds United in Norway.

Antony was quizzed on David de Gea’s recent departure from the club – the Spaniard confirmed his exit yesterday following the expiration of his contract and expressed his gratitude to the Old Trafford faithful after 12 memorable years as a Red.

The forward said (via Sky Sports): “For me, it was an honour to play alongside De Gea. For his history and the friendship that we have, I wish you all the best in the world.”

On the forthcoming 2023/2024 campaign, Antony set the standard high.

“It’s a new season, we put United in first place and our wish is to win the title.”
