Erik ten Hag has reportedly admitted that Antony may be too expensive for Manchester United while Jurrien Timber has supposedly decided against a move to Old Trafford after Louis van Gaal’s World Cup warning.
The Manchester Evening News understands that Frenkie de Jong is Ten Hag's primary target but also has Antony on his wish list. There had been reports that United officials had recently flown to Amsterdam to initiate talks with Ajax.
Meanwhile, former United boss Van Gaal had warned Timber that a move to Old Trafford could put him at risk of not being selected for this winter’s World Cup if he didn't play regularly.
