Manchester United target Antony breaks silence on Erik ten Hag interest

Manchester United target Antony has broken his silence on Erik ten Hag's interest in him. The Brazilian winger is one of Ten Hag's targets this summer as he looks to strengthen his squad.

Before United's thumping at Brentford, the Dutch manager suggested that there was issues in the attacking and midfield areas. These issues were highlighted further in West London on Saturday with United looking toothless in attack as Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo all found the back of the net.

This weekend, Antony was involved in a huge scoreline of his own albeit on the right side of it. He scored as Ajax beat Groningen 6-1 at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday.

After the game, Antony spoke to NOS who asked him about Ten Hag and his potential interest in moving on this summer.

In response the 22-year-old said: "Will Ten Hag call me? No idea. He has to discuss this with my agents, I’m focused on here. What will come will come, we will see.

"I feel good at Ajax. I give everything for this club, every minute. So I am loving this city and this club."

Ajax could be reluctant to sell Antony to Ten Hag this summer having already sold Lisandro Martinez to United in this window. In recent weeks, United have also been linked with PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo and Bologna's Marko Arnautovic however interest in the latter has since ended.
