Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold has appeared to confirm that a big-money deal for Ajax forward Antony is edging closer in a video shared on social media.
The 22-year-old winger has been on United's radar all summer after he was identified as one of Erik ten Hag's primary transfer targets, but the club have so far failed to strike a deal with Ajax, who are reluctant to lose one of their prized attacking assets.
It was reported earlier this week that the Dutch giants had rejected a £67.9million bid from United - despite the fact that Antony has made it clear that he would like to quit the club in order to reunite with Ten Hag in the Premier League.
