Antony is set to be denied a dream shirt number if he completes a move to Manchester United in the coming days.
United are understood have agreed a £85million transfer fee with Ajax for the Brazilian, 22. The Dutch champions didn't want to sell Antony, who is on strike trying to force the move and missed their 2-0 away win against Utrecht on Sunday afternoon, but have now reluctantly agreed to part ways with their star.
Antony was brought to Ajax by United manager Erik ten Hag two years ago. Since then, he's scored 18 goals and provided 14 assists in 57 Eredivisie games - winning two league titles and one cup. He's also broke into the Brazil senior team, winning nine caps to date.
