Erik ten Hag is reportedly pressing his Manchester United bosses to increase their bids for Lisandro Martinez and Antony amid Joel Glazer's transfer promise.
Co-owner Glazer promised fans Ten Hag would have the funds necessary to deliver "on-the-pitch success" during the new season at a fans' forum in June. But United have signed just one player so far this summer - left-back Tyrell Malacia, 22, from Feyenoord.
Ten Hag is hoping to add Ajax pair Martinez, 24, and Antony, 22, to his squad. The duo played a crucial role in Ajax's success under Ten Hag last term, winning the Eredivisie title. Antony scored eight league goals, while Martinez was named the club's Player of the Year.
