Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder has criticised the “strange” behaviour of Antony ahead of the €100million (£84m) deal taking the forward to Manchester United.
The Brazil international had been strongly pushing for the move as he desperately wanted to leave Amsterdam after two impressive campaigns. Mirror Football exclusively reported that the 22-year-old had gone on strike at the club in order to force through a move.
Antony is on the brink of becoming the record sale for a Dutch club as he makes the switch to Old Trafford, where he will link up with his former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag and teammate Lisandro Martinez. He will become the fifth arrival of the summer at United.
