Manchester United winger Antony believes the Red Devils will claim the Premier League title next season following their third-place finish in 2022-2023 season.
United managed a podium finish in Erik ten Hag’s maiden season in charge to secure a return to Champions League football but it was still 14 points behind champions and cross-city rivals Manchester City.

Manchester United: Ten Hag to strip Maguire of armband, Fernandes favourite to replace him
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is set to name a new captain at the club whether Harry Maguire stays or not with Bruno Fernandes most likely to get the armband.
However, the Brazilian winger feels the club’s movement in the transfer market, where they have already secured English midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea with the imminent arrival of Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan, makes them among the title contenders.
Antony also paid tribute to goalkeeper David de Gea who has left the club after 12 stellar years at Old Trafford following the expiry of his contract last month.

The player is understood to be keen on a move to Old Trafford, despite interest from Stamford Bridge.
“It was an honour to play alongside David de Gea,” Antony said on the sidelines of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday.
“For the history he made, I wish him all the best in the world. It is a new season, we will put United in first place and our wish is to win the title.”
Antony joined United last summer from Ten Hag’s former club Ajax Amsterdam in a transfer worth €95 million (£82 million), the highest sum paid for an Eredivisie player.
He, however, did not light up the Premier League as he managed seven goals and two assists from 39 games in all competitions.

United are also in the market for a number two should Dean Henderson leave and De Gea fails to sign a new contract. United made contact with Feyenoord over Justin Bijlow but the Dutch champions are very reluctant sellers.
The Red Devils are still in the market for more reinforcements with a striker believed to be next on their wish list after Onana’s arrival, possibly next week.
Danish forward Rasmus Hojlund, who plays for Serie A side Atalanta, is rumoured to be the striker United have identified, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claiming that the two parties have already agreed personal terms, with only a transfer fee remaining.
