Manchester United attacker Antony has paid tribute to teammate Diogo Dalot.

Antony says Dalot was always supportive during his tough times this season.

"I'm very grateful to God and to a friend I talk to a lot," said Antony to manutd.com after Sunday's FA Cup win against Liverpool.

"Diogo Dalot is more than a friend to me, he's a guy who helps me every day at the club.

"We have a phrase that we always say to each other: the patient guy is unbeatable.

"We always talk about it. So I'm very grateful to him for his advice, for the moments we had together talking. He's a guy who's helped me a lot."

He also said: "Before the game, I told Diogo that I felt something different.

"I felt something good. I felt I was going to score today, so I'm very happy about that.

"With regard to Dalot, as I said, he's my best friend here at the club.

"He's a guy we're always talking to, he's always advising me and his mentality is out of the ordinary."
