Manchester United seem to be again growing in confidence that they can sign highly-rated Ajax winger Antony. The Brazilian was one of Erik Ten Hag’s star performers in Amsterdam and has been one of the Reds' primary targets for much of the summer so far.
It’s no secret that United are eager to add more firepower to their attack. They’ve lost Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood, and questions still persist over Cristiano Ronaldo who’s made it clear he wants out of the club.
The Reds were heavily reliant on the Portuguese star last season and are eager to keep him at the club to see out the remaining 12 months of his current deal. He held face to face talks with Ten Hag at the Carrington training complex on Tuesday to try and resolve the issue. Yet, even if he stays, the same is unlikely to discourage United's interest in Antony.
