Man Utd transfer money demanded ahead of schedule so cash-strapped club can clear debts

Brazilian club Sao Paulo reportedly want to receive the money Manchester United owe them for Antony as soon as possible to clear some debts.

The Red Devils signed Antony from Ajax for £85million on deadline day. As part of an arrangement between Ajax and ex-side Sao Paulo, a significant chunk of the transfer fee is owed to the Brazilian club., who are expected to earn £18m from the deal.

United spent more than £200m on new players in the summer - bringing in Antony, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Martin Dubravka - and it's believed they've agreed to pay for Antony over the next five years to spread the cost.
