Antony has admitted that he has been inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar and David Beckham. “I always watched Cristiano Ronaldo. He played a lot on the wing here.
“I’ve always really liked (Lionel) Messi as well, and Neymar, they are the three players I always followed. I played with (David) Beckham a lot in video games, and I recently watched his documentary and learnt a lot from it.
“He’s someone who has inspired me. I already respected and admired him, and after watching the series this admiration grew even more. He’s a player I’ve followed since I was a child and as I just said, I learnt a lot from watching his documentary recently.
“You have quicker players like Cris, and others like Beckham as well, players who pull the strings more in a game with very good set-piece delivery. There are different types of players and different styles of play.
“As I said before, I always try and learn from both types. The quick players (like Ronaldo) and the technique and intelligence of Beckham as well.”
Antony has struggled this season at Man United. The Brazilian reminded everyone of his ability with his first Premier League this term against Burnley.
