Antony slams 'joke' agent claim amid bizarre £20m tussle over Manchester United transfer deal

Antony has slammed an agent group for claiming to have played a part in negotiating his £85m transfer from Ajax to Manchester United.

The winger, who scored on his United debut against Arsenal on Sunday, completed the switch on deadline day last week. However, since then, a bitter £20m spat between two agents has erupted with both claiming they had the biggest role in organising the Old Trafford switch.
