Antony has quickly settled at Manchester United.
The former Ajax star has also made a splash at United with his banter.
A source told The Sun: “The players all absolutely love Antony. He's like a Tasmanian devil. When he's training and playing he's 100 per cent on it.
“And then when it's time to relax he's one of the lads and loves a laugh and a joke.
“He knows Fred from the Brazil national team so he's been playing a couple of pranks on him with the lads have enjoyed."
