Antony says Manchester United must “impose our game” when they face in-form Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
United hit back from a humiliating 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City last weekend with a 3-2 victory at Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday.
The Red Devils face another tricky test when they visit an Everton side looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March 2021, when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge.
Antony is prepared for a battle on Merseyside at a stadium where they were beaten 1-0 last season.
The told Premier League Productions: “We know it’s going to be a difficult, tough game.
“My team-mates have already spoken to me about this fixture. They said it will be difficult. We have to impose our game, show our strength.
“We shouldn’t get worked up and let our heads go down because of one game, one result. Sadly, we lost the last [Premier League] game but, when you think about it, we’ve beaten Liverpool and the league leaders Arsenal.
“Our season can’t be summarised by just one game. We’re now focused on the match against Everton and, God willing, we will get the three points.”
Antony has impressed since joining from Ajax and will hope to become the first United player to score in their first three Premier League games for the club with another strike against Everton.
The Brazil international says his goalscoring form is a result of his hard work on the training ground, adding: “I’ve always worked very hard and the results are a consequence of this.
“I’ll always give 100 per cent, regardless of whether I score or not. It was nice to score another goal [against City] though, unfortunately, we lost the game.
“I was training that shot the day before the game. I hit about 10 to 15 balls and, thankfully, I was able to score the goal.
“Now it’s time to prepare and train more, correct mistakes, move in the right direction and achieve great things.”
