Brazil coach compares Manchester United target Antony to Neymar and Vinicius Jr

Brazil head coach Tite has given Manchester United a glowing review of Antony after comparing the forward to Neymar and Vinicius Jr.

Antony is being targeted by United this summer as they look to bolster their options in attack. The Brazilian is seen by Erik ten Hag as an ideal solution to his side's problematic right-hand side, with United hoping he can ease the burden on Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ten Hag of course managed Antony during their time together at Ajax, with the 22-year-old establishing himself as one of the stars of the Dutchman’s side. The Brazil international weighed in with 12 goals and 10 assists as Ajax picked up yet another Eredivisie title last season.
