Ajax sporting director Gerry Hamstra has hit out at Manchester United for leaving it so late in the transfer window to sign Brazil international Antony.
United secured Antony's signature on transfer deadline day, days after finally reaching an £85.1million agreement with Ajax. The Reds had been tracking the winger throughout the summer but were forced to cool their interest because of the Dutch giants' huge demands.
However, the Reds reignited their interest in the 22-year-old, who scored on his debut for the club against Arsenal on Sunday, towards the end of the window. After seeing a handful of bids knocked back, they reached an agreement with less than a week to go until the 11pm deadline last Thursday.
