Ajax defender Jurrien Timber has admitted that he has not spoken to teammate Antony about Manchester United's ongoing interest in the Brazilian attacker.
United, who will be looking to build on their 2-1 win over Liverpool when they travel to St Mary's to face Southampton on Saturday, are determined to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next Thursday evening's 11pm transfer deadline and have pinpointed Antony as their top target. He has long since been identified by United manager Erik ten Hag as his preferred choice to strengthen the Reds' right-wing options.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Wednesday, United are preparing a fresh bid to try and bring the 22-year-old to Old Trafford before the window slams shut. Reports elsewhere have suggested that there is growing confidence a deal will be done.
