Manchester United ended the transfer window by bringing in winger Antony for £85m on deadline day. It was an expensive outlay but the player was Erik ten Hag's top attacking target throughout the summer window.
The process however was not an easy one. Ajax did not want to sell the Brazillian after parting ways with Ryan Gravenberch, Noussair Mazraoui, Sebastian Haller and Lisandro Martinez this summer, with the latter moving to Old Trafford earlier in the window to join former manager Ten Hag.
However, the player proceeded to go on strike, missing training and matches in order to secure the move. His actions alongside the money involved seemed to convince the Dutch club to part ways with Antony and quickly move to secure a replacement.
