Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder has claimed that he “really thinks” Antony will stay with the Dutch club despite growing links with Manchester United.
The Red Devils have been rumoured to be considering a move for the Brazilian winger this summer since the arrival of Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman even made a personal appeal to the club’s hierarchy regarding a swoop for Antony’s services amid Cristiano Ronaldo ’s request to leave Old Trafford.
It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will be able to secure his services but a move certainly looks in the offing with the winger’s agent having flown into Manchester for official talks regarding personal terms. In the meantime, his current employers Ajax already appear to have secured his potential replacement with a move for FC Porto’s Francisco Conceicao.
