Manchester United may benefit more from signing Ajax winger Antony more than Leeds United’s Raphinha, a former midfielder says. The Manchester Evening News understands that the former is one of Erik ten Hag’s transfer targets this summer, while the latter is being sought by Chelsea and Barcelona.
Both Brazilians have attracted the attention of a number of European giants after impressive seasons. Raphinha was initially linked with United before it was clear Ten Hag was pursuing other avenues.
One of them is Frenkie de Jong, and the MEN understands that a deal in principle for the Dutchman has been agreed. Former United player Luke Chadwick says that signing Antony - who lifted the Eredivisie under Ten Hag last season - over Raphinha would better benefit United.
