Manchester United appear to be edging closer to making their first signing of the Erik ten Hag era and the target is an appropriate one for the Dutch manager.
Ten Hag brought Antony to Ajax and it now seems as though he will oversee his arrival at Old Trafford. United officials have reportedly flown to Amsterdam to push forward a £40million transfer for the winger, who has attracted plenty of transfer interest over the past few months.
The transfer links are no surprise. Antony enjoyed a productive 2021/22 season for Ajax, returning 12 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances to help Ten Hag sign off with an Eredivisie title. The 22-year-old has contributed an impressive 22 goals and 20 assists in 78 appearances for Ajax altogether since joining from Sao Paulo two years ago.
