Manchester United have confirmed the shirt number that Antony will wear this season, following his deadline-day move from Ajax.

  • First time Antony has worn No. 21 in career
  • Man Utd will pay up to £85 million ($99m) for him
  • Inherits number from Cavani

WHAT HAPPENED? The Brazilian will sport the No. 21 for United, while fellow new arrival Martin Dubravka has taken No. 31.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Antony is likely to pull on his new shirt for the first time in front of fans on Sunday, when United host high-flying Arsenal at Old Trafford. He previously used No. 11 at Ajax.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Antony is not the first South American to wear No. 21 at United. Diego Forlan, Rafael da Silva and, most recently, Edinson Cavani have all used the number.
