Antony is expected to complete his £85m move to Manchester United in the next 48 hours to take Erik ten Hag's summer spending over the £225m mark.
United have agreed a fee with Ajax and the Brazilian international will travel to Manchester to undergo a medical. It is understood the striker has agreed a long-term deal worth around £200,000-a-week that will make him one of the highest paid stars at Old Trafford.
But United anticipate possible delays when it comes to getting him a work permit, meaning Antony is not expected to make his debut at Leicester on Thursday night and is more likely to face league leaders Arsenal this weekend instead.
