Manchester United’s pursuit of Antony could bring the fulfilment of a promise the Ajax winger made to Erik ten Hag after his departure for Old Trafford.
United officials have reportedly flown to Amsterdam to push forward a £40million transfer for Antony. If the deal is completed then the 22-year-old winger will become the first signing of the Ten Hag era at Old Trafford.
Antony caught the eye of many major European clubs last season by contributing 12 goals and eight assists across 33 appearances in all competitions. The Brazilian was one of the key players behind Ajax’s Eredivisie title triumph and enjoyed a strong working relationship with his manager.
