Antony is excited for his first away match as a Manchester United player.

The Brazilian has made two appearances at Old Trafford since signing from Ajax.

United have travelled to Moldova to play Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday.

"I always look forward to playing in a United shirt," Antony said ahead of the Europa League group stage clash. "It's always a reason to get excited.

"Unfortunately, we lost the last home game, [but] we now need to focus 100 per cent on the away game and bring the three points home.

"We'll face difficulties. We know it will be a tough game.

"[But] everybody knows about the greatness of Manchester United, so we'll go on the pitch and honour this important badge."
