Ajax boss reveals whether he expects Antony to leave this summer amid Manchester United interest

Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has revealed he doesn't expect Antony to leave the club this summer.

Manchester United have been keeping tabs on the winger as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his forward options. United recently announced they had agreed a deal to bring Ajax's Lisandro Martinez to the club, while Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen have also joined him at Old Trafford.

Ajax are determined not to let last season’s squad be dismantled, with Ryan Gravenberch, Sebastien Haller, Andre Onana and Martinez all heading for pastures new. And now, Schreuder has revealed he is determined to keep hold of Antony.
