On 26 September 2018, Antony along with Helinho and Igor Gomes were promoted to the senior team, and he signed a contract until September 2023. On 15 November, he made his first-team debut, coming on as a substitute for Helinho in a 1–1 draw against Grêmio.

Parents and Family
The Brazilian starlet has his upbringing from a very humble family. Truly, it behooves us to commend his parents – Cremilda Prudencio (mother) and Mr dos Santos.
Wife/ Partner
Antony is currently married to his lovely wife, Rosilene Xavier. They have a son together.
Antony began dating the Brazilian when he played for Sao Paulo’s youth team, where he spent nine years between 2010 and 2019. It is unknown when the couple tied the knot, though it was reportedly a private ceremony attended only by their closest friends and relatives.
The 22-year-old gave birth to a son, Lorenzo, in November 2019 and is believed to be highly family-oriented. And despite the fame that comes with her husband being a fully fledged Brazil international, Rosilene is fiercely protective of her family’s privacy, unlike many other high-profile WAGs who are no strangers to the headlines.
Net Worth and Salary
Antony’s net worth as of 2022 is estimated at around $3.5 million – $15 million.
Antony earns over £1.7 million per year playing for Manchester United.
