Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag believes the addition of Antony will provide his side with greater depth as the Brazilian edges closer to an £85.51m transfer.
The Red Devils have reached an agreement with Ajax over the transfer of Antony, subject to a medical, player terms being finalised and international clearance. Although Ten Hag warned that the paperwork is yet to be completed, he did reveal that Antony’s arrival will help improve the attack as United prepare for a gruelling schedule.
“First, we have to sign him,” Ten Hag revealed in his pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday’s clash with Leicester. “So there’s an agreement between the clubs but the paperwork is not done so I can’t go too deep.
