Antony is set to become Erik ten Hag’s fifth signing as Manchester United boss and will come in as the attacking reinforcement he has longed for all summer.
After working closely with him for two years at Ajax, the Dutchman knows what he is getting. His 12 goals and 10 assists last season helped Ten Hag to his third Dutch title.
The new United boss has been keen to stress that incoming recruits must have the right attitude on and off the pitch. Antony’s refusal to train with the Ajax first team and his public slamming of his current employers has been criticised and may come as a concern to onlookers.
