'Time travelling' Man Utd fan goes viral for 2019 tweet about Antony transfer and leaves Twitter freaked out | The Sun

A MANCHESTER UNITED fan has been dubbed a time traveller after correctly predicting Antony's record-breaking transfer to Old Trafford… THREE YEARS ago.

Antony, 22, left Ajax to join United in an £85.5million transfer on Monday.

But, one fan actually anticipated the move back in 2019.

In response to a tweet outlining the characteristics of Antony – then a19-year-old playing for Sao Paulo – the supporter forecast the big money transfer.
