The Red Devils shelled out a mammoth €100,000,000 to acquire this blistering speed demon! All this pace merchant just needs is a pair of boots to do burn through the streets of Manchester, wheels are for sissys!

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, on February 24th, 2000, he began his footballing journey with the youth academy of the famous São Paulo Futebol Clube as a ten year old. After progressing through the youth rank he was given his opportunity to impress with the senior squad during the 2018 pre-season J League Challenge held in Japan, where he was voted the best player in the tournament. On November 15th, 2018, Tony made his competitive first-team debut for São Paulo in a 1-1 draw against rivals Grêmio. The 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A campaign saw Tony only make 3 appearances but the following season he would set the flanks on fire, featuring 29 times which yielded 4 goals and 6 assists. His exploits didn’t go unnoticed by European scouts and in February 2020 Dutch Eredivise club AFC Ajax shelled out £18.2 million to secure the services of the South American magician. In 82 games for de Godenzonen Tony scored and assisted 45 times on route to back-to-back Eredivisie titles (2020/21, 2021/22). In the summer of 2022 Manchester United paid €100 million for his services making the Brazilian Ajax and the Eredivisie's biggest transfer ever.
