Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is reportedly the 'main negotiator' between Ajax and the Reds as they look to agree a fee for Antony.
According to Dutch outlet de Volkskrant, the Ajax chief executive is leading discussions between the Dutch club and United as the two sides try and settle on a price tag for the 22-year-old. They report that usually Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Gerry Hamstra are the main transfer negotiators for Ajax - but the former United goalkeeper has stepped in to try and find a resolution.
The MEN reported on Friday that United were confident of agreeing a deal for the Brazilian, and this might now be aided by the help of Van der Sar. There is less than a week to go in the transfer window and although the club remain assured of getting a deal for Antony over the line, they might not like the transfer free needed to sign him.
