The video captures the moment Antony was announced as part of the team.
He and his family spill out from the edge of their seats to celebrate emphatically.
After a good old-fashioned jumping session while spinning, hugs are exchanged as a corgi barks with excitement.
Antony has been an integral part of Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United since his £85m move from Ajax in the summer.
He recently picked up the Premier League Goal of the Month award for his sensational goal against Manchester City.
Antony is hoping for similar moments of quality in Qatar, where he will join the likes of Neymar and Vinicius Junior in Brazil’s star-studded squad.
He will be joined by his United team-mates Casemiro and Fred, as well as loanee Alex Telles.
The Selecao will certainly be worth watching for Manchester United fans over the next few weeks.
