Manchester United have had an £80million bid for Ajax forward Antony rejected.
United, who are progressing with a £60million deal to take Real Madrid ’s Brazilian midfielder Casimiro to Old Trafford, lodged an offer with the Amsterdam club after being urged by new boss Erik ten Hag to test their resolve to keep the 22-year-old in Holland.
But Ajax coach Alfred Schreuder - who has replaced Ten Hag at the helm - urged his bosses to turn down the proposal.
