Manchester United Brazilian winger Anthony Santos, who was introduced by 100 million euros this summer, won the first honor after the transfer this week. He scored a goal in the Premier League Arsenal match against Arsenal and was elected the club's best goal in September. Not only that, Anthony also gained something off the court. He has bought the past luxury house of Pogba and plans to renovate it.
22-year-old Anthony enjoys a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds at Manchester United, so buying Pogba's villa worth 2.9 million pounds is not a big expense, and it only cost him three months' salary.
Pogba's former residence has 5 bedrooms, the most luxurious part is the staircase inlaid with diamonds. Pogba also created an pool table and an indoor football field with his initial letter "PP". In addition, this villa has a game room, gym, swimming pool and outdoor court, all available.
In an interview with ESPN, Anthony confirmed the news that he had left the Manchester Laurie Hotel where he originally lived and moved into a house that used to belong to Pogba. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Manchester city centre.
Anthony said: "In the past, this was Pogba's house, and his name was on the table. Now I want to start changing the decoration and make it an "AS" representing Anthony Santos."
Manchester United new player insists that he also has superb billiards skills and will not waste the original facilities in the new house: "I can always win. Although the Brazilian team does not play billiards often, the game is mainly playing cards. But on the last international match day, we played snooker , and I won too."
As for Pogba's diamond staircase, Anthony joked: "He's a bit nauseous, right? But I'm happy to live in the team's ace home in the past. He's very disgusting, but I like it. He's no longer here anymore, right?"
However, Anthony may have to pay attention to the safety of his home, because during Manchester United's UEFA Champions League last season, Pogba suffered a house robbery in Cheshire , like the World Cup championship medal was also taken away. Recently, French media rumored that this was actually the behavior of his brother Matthias.
Anthony also hopes that his performance at Manchester United can surpass the old owner of the mansion. Pogba recently admitted that his six-year career at Manchester United has not reached the level he deserves.
Pogba said: "I followed my heart and chose to return to Juventus . In my opinion, this is the right time. Life in Manchester United in the past three years is not what I want, and it is no secret. I have been affected by injuries. But I learned a lot from Manchester United. Now I am a different player, and I have to take more responsibilities."
In addition to Pogba, Anthony also gets along well with Manchester United's Portuguese superstar C Ronaldo . "I'm so happy, I say that to Ronaldo because we're always together and having conversations. He always makes me feel very comfortable, we've known each other for a long time, and I say that to him. He has a wonderful history and is a role model for young people. Some clips flash through my mind, like manipulating him while playing football games, watching him play football on TV, and now, I can fight with him side by side, which is very exciting for me."
