Ajax chief gives Manchester United fresh hope in Antony transfer pursuit

Manchester United have been offered fresh hope in their quest to sign Ajax forward Antony this summer.

Antony, 22, was identified as a concrete target for Erik ten Hag after the manager swapped Amsterdam for Old Trafford, and the Dutchman has already managed to do business with his old employers. Ten Hag signed Lisandro Martinez after striking up deals for Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen as part of his rebuild.

Martinez and Eriksen met their United teammates for the first time at Carrington on Tuesday morning and the club still have their sights set on further additions. Frenkie de Jong remains a priority target and Ten Hag wants to bring in another defender and a back-up goalkeeper to offset Dean Henderson leaving on loan.
