Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder slams 'strange' Antony behaviour before Manchester United transfer

Ajax head coach Alfred Schreuder has confirmed that Antony could be fined by the Dutch giants after going on strike in an attempt to force through a move to Manchester United.

The 22-year-old is on the brink of completing a €100million (£84.4m) switch to Old Trafford. He visited the club's Carrington training base on Monday and the deal is set to be wrapped up in plenty of time before Thursday night's 11pm transfer deadline.

Antony has been a leading target for United for much of this summer, with manager Erik ten Hag having long since pinpointed him as an ideal player to solve United's right-wing issue.
