Ajax head coach Alfred Schreuder appeared to accuse Antony of being money-motivated as Manchester United close in on a deal to sign the Brazilian.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News , United are edging closer to completing the signing of the 22-year-old. The club saw a fresh bid for Antony knocked back on Friday but are confident of completing a deal that could cost close to €100million (£84.66m).
Antony was left out of the Ajax squad that beat FC Utrecht 2-0 on Sunday. He also missed last weekend's clash with Sparta Rotterdam after failing to train on Friday and Saturday in the build-up to the match, with several reports suggesting that he had chosen to go on 'strike'.
