Doubting Manchester United fans should be excited for Erik ten Hag reunion with Antony

While Manchester United fans have been irritated by the club's inactivity in the transfer market bar a very prolonged pursuit for Frenkie de Jong, it seems that the club have been working on a shortlist for Erik ten Hag. Though fixing the midfield is the priority, the team also needs upgrades in other positions as well.

Though Jadon Sancho was signed for £73m last summer to play on the right-hand side, over the course of the season it has become increasingly apparent that he is much better suited to the left. This means that for the third season in a row, a right-winger is on the agenda for United.

The Manchester Evening News understands that the player that has been targeted for this position is Ajax's Antony. The Brazilian was one of Ajax's key players last season and at 22 years old would likely be the club's right-winger for years to come.
