Steven Bergwijn has congratulated Antony after the Manchester United new boy bagged a debut goal against Arsenal on Sunday.

Arsenal headed to Old Trafford on Sunday in search of a sixth straight win to open the Premier League season.

Gunners fans can feel aggrieved to have seen Gabriel Martinelli’s opener ruled out, especially as Antony then went and scored for United.

Bukayo Saka did haul Arsenal level, but Marcus Rashford scored twice on the counter-attack with United hitting Mikel Arteta’s men on the break.

Arsenal’s winning run is over and Tottenham fans will no doubt love to see the Gunners take that knock.

Steven Bergwijn has congratulated Antony

Tottenham now sit just one point behind Arsenal in the Premier League table, closing the gap to the leaders after their 2-1 home win over Fulham.

That will surely excite Tottenham fans but one former Spurs player also loved Antony opening his account against Arsenal.

Winger Steven Bergwijn left Tottenham for a move to Ajax this summer, bringing his time in the Premier League to an end.

The Dutchman joined Tottenham from PSV Eindhoven back in January 2020 but failed to really nail down a starting role at Spurs.

Antonio Conte was happy to sell Bergwijn this summer and he headed back to the Netherlands with a move to Ajax, with a fee of £28million paid.

Bergwijn joined forces with Antony in Amsterdam and the Dutch giants would have loved to unleash both of them on the Eredivisie this season.

Yet just days before the transfer deadline, Ajax accepted a bid from United for Antony and allowed the Brazilian to reunite with Erik ten Hag.

Antony made the perfect start on Sunday and it seems that he struck up a very quick bond with Bergwijn.

Antony took to Instagram to celebrate his goal and United’s win, with Bergwijn responding by saying ‘My guyyyy’.

Bergwijn loved seeing Antony make an instant impact, but surely also loved the fact that his goal came against Arsenal, with his Tottenham allegiance likely still in tact.
