Ajax chief executive and former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar believes that Antony should have stayed with the Eredivisie champions for “another year”.
The Brazilian forward completed an £86million move to Old Trafford in the summer to follow Erik ten Hag to the Premier League, having gone on strike in Amsterdam in order to force through a move to the north west.
Van der Sar has admitted that the move was difficult to take at Ajax, with the club determined to keep hold of one of their star players after already losing Lisandro Martinez to the Red Devils earlier in the transfer window.
