United new boy Antony moves into Pogba’s £3 million mansion
The new signing is settling into life in Greater Manchester.
Manchester United‘s most recent signing Antony has moved into Paul Pogba‘s £3 million mansion in Hale Barns, Greater Manchester. And yes, it is Manchester, not Cheshire.
22-year-old Brazilian, Antony dos Santos, joined the Red Devils just before the transfer window slammed shut on 1 September and now looks to have moved into former United midfielder Pogba’s luxury home, located just outside of Altrincham.
The property itself was valued at around £2.9m when the Frenchman bought it back in 2017, who went on to build a custom indoor football pitch, a gaming pad as well as numerous other luxury additions, many of which bore his personalised ‘PP’ branding.
Following an interview with ESPN‘s Marina Spinelli published on Friday, 30 September, Antony revealed that is “happy to be in the house that used to belong to an ace.”
The 29-year-old famously fell victim to a horrific robbery back in March 2022 when thieves raided his house whilst his children were sleeping.
Pogba finally left Old Trafford in June after a lengthy saga which spanned several seasons and three managers — four if you count Erik ten Hag, though he was virtually out the door before the Dutchman even arrived.

Anthony did joke that it will take some time to remove/replace all of Pogba’s branded furnishings with his own ‘AS’ initials. I mean, it’s a footballer’s gaff, needless extravagance is pretty much a given.
The tricky winger (who previously played under ten Hag at Ajax) is already making his mark in Manchester, scoring in both of his first two Premier League appearances — which just so happened to come in derbies against Arsenal and Man City.
Not bad for the new kid.
His contribution in the derby on Sunday might not have been enough to spare United’s blushes, but he’s certainly looked like a player doing his utmost to live up to an £86m price tag, let alone a £3m home.
As for Pogba, he is once again injured and is yet to make an appearance for Juventus since returning to the Italian giants and is now racing to be fit for the World Cup.
