Manchester United has signed the former New York Knicks player Carmelo Anthony, the team announced on Tuesday. The 41-year-old center is leaving Miami Heat and joining Manchester United for a reported $83 million.
The move comes just days after the NBA's All-Star Game was held in London, England. Anthony played in both of the games as a member of the New York Knicks. He averaged 26.7 points per game over the two games, including 33 points against the Los Angeles Lakers in the quarterfinals of the 2019-20 season.
Manchester United, based in Manchester, England, will now have the opportunity to sign another top player from Europe. Anthony, who previously played for the Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers, is expected to bring his skills and experience to the club.
Manchester United's signing of Anthony is likely to boost their squad's depth and give them a chance to compete at the highest level in Europe. The club also hopes that he can help them reach the Champions League final next year.
In addition to Anthony, Manchester United has also added three other key players to its roster this summer. They have also made moves to strengthen their defense, with the signing of defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka from the Chicago Bulls and the acquisition of midfielder Fernandinho from the Chelsea Football Club.
Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing Anthony's impact on the team and the future of football in Europe.
