Arsenal will make the trip north to take on Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, and they could well come up against their new signing Anthony.
The Brazilian completed a Deadline Day move to the Red Devils on Thursday, for what seems to be a crazy price on what he has shown thus far, but he clearly has the potential to be a star.
I personally would have no issue seeing him line-up against us, as I struggle to see him making an immediate impact, but manager Erik Ten Hag will have to make that decision after seeing him train with the squad for the first time yesterday as confirmed on their official website.
The boss did admit that Anthony Martial is one player who will not be available however, as he struggles to overcome an injury picked up against Liverpool.
On both Aaron Wan Bissaka and Luke Shaw the boss was not so certain however, and claimed a decision would later need to be taken on their availability.
United have coped well without Shaw and AWB recently, with Harry Maguire also dropping out of the first-team in recent weeks to help them find some wins, and this could well be a changing of the guard at Old Trafford.
They’ve hardly been playing well however, but we all know they frustratingly find a performance when they come up against us regardless of how terrible they have been playing in the build-up, and we would be naive to expect an easy game regardless of who plays and who doesn’t.
Would you be worried to see Anthony starting against us on Sunday?

We did our buying early in the window, they did theirs late. We will see the outcome tomorrow. Plus theirs seems a little scattergun.
True but if you look at the players he’s brought in from the Nederland, they’ve slotted in quite well.these are players Ten Haag already knew,who are familiar with his style of play.the same thing happened with Jesus and Zinchenko for us.
They ended our invincibles run when they kicked us off the park and we got zero protection from the ref. Always disliked the Manc scum.
This is how everyone hype new coaches and players till they failed and get sacked and d players sold. This is music to my Yrs. Arsenal have togetherness we just need a little luck to put our goals In d net
Man to man there may never be a bigger set of players on paper than Man United right now.
Anthony or no anthony one early goal against that lot could cause an interesting narrative.
