Manchester United's ambitions of signing Ajax forward Antony this summer have been met by the approval of former Brazilian star Rivaldo.
Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is United's priority transfer target and has already discussed a potential transfer to the Red Devils on the phone, with the United boss outlining the role the player would enjoy under him at Old Trafford. Central midfield is an area United need to bolster their options ahead of several key departures this term. De Jong has been identified as the leading candidate for the club in the position and the Dutchman is at the top of the Red Devils' shortlist of summer transfer targets.
However, Antony is another leading target for Ten Hag who is keen to reunite with the 22-year-old - Ajax's star player last season. United are in pole position to land the Brazilian given his strong relationship with the Red Devils boss at the Amsterdam Arena while the player’s representatives have travelled to Europe in order to discuss a possible transfer this summer.
