Antony would bring ability that Manchester United desperately need

Manchester United are reportedly still keen on bringing in Ajax winger Antony with the Brazilian reportedly not taking part in training on Friday. It is unknown at this stage whether he has an injury or not but De Telegraaf have claimed that Ajax rejected an €80m bid from United for the Brazilian.

This has led to speculation that the player is 'striking' in order to seal a move to the Premier League. However, in an interview with De Telegraaf, Antony explained that he would still be interested in staying in Amsterdam although he could not offer any reassurances to the Ajax supporters.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News in July, the 22-year-old Brazilian is on manager Erik ten Hag's radar this summer, with the Dutchman keen to strengthen his attacking options. United are desperate to draft in a new right-sided winger and Antony is a player they have identified as a solution to their right-wing troubles.
