Antony has fulfilled his Erik ten Hag promise after completing Manchester United transfer

Manchester United have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Ajax to sign Brazilian international Antony, meaning he is set to be reunited with former manager Erik ten Hag.

The 22-year-old, who arrived in Manchester on Monday, will join United, subject to passing a medical, finalising personal terms and securing international clearance. He will join the club in a deal worth up to €100million (£85.5m), making him their second-most-expensive signing in their history, just behind Paul Pogba.
