The Red Devils’ Antony has revealed he is still struggling to come to terms with his rise from a difficult upbringing in his home country to be part of the Premier League.
The attacker has been heavily criticized for what he is showing on the pitch for Manchester United since his 85 million pound transfer from Ajax 2 years ago.

And while the Brazilian claims he’s not looking for excuses, Antony revealed the transition from growing up in a favela to life as a multi-millionaire player has been “challenging.”
“You come from nothing and, at the moment, have practically everything with such ease; it is not easy to deal with all of this,” the Brazilian forward shared.
Antony added that he had gone from having nothing to eat and not having a bedroom to being a multi-millioner.
The Brazilian is back with the Red Devils after being given an extended break in the past campaign amid accusations of domestic abuse made vs. him in his home country and in the United Kingdom.
