Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder appears to have performed a dramatic u-turn on Antony ’s dramatic exit for Manchester United having now suggested that his move was “perfect”.
The Brazilian completed a huge £84m switch to Old Trafford over the closing days of the summer transfer window after the Red Devils finally made a breakthrough in negotiations with the Dutch giants. However, it still wasn’t so straightforward. Antony eventually went on strike to force through a move with former boss Schreuder slamming the winger’s behaviour as “strange” and “bad”.
With a few weeks now having passed since Antony quit the reigning Eredivisie champions, the Ajax boss has had another say on the transfer and, whilst he has admitted the circumstances of the move still wrangle, he can understand why the Brazilian chose to leave for Old Trafford.
