Three years ago Manchester United needed a new forward and pushed to sign a left-footer who would have added quality and balance to their attack.
In 2022 the situation is similar and as part of Erik ten Hag’s renewal of his squad an attacker is next on the agenda, ideally one who again brings some balance with a preference for using his left foot.
This time Ajax right-winger Antony is top of Ten Hag’s list, unsurprisingly given the new manager’s focus on signing players he is familiar with, but the 22-year-old could be priced out of a move. After just two seasons in European football, he still has an awful lot to prove as well.
