It's been long. It's been drawnout. It's been stressful. It's been very expensive. But in the end, Manchester United might have had a great transfer window after all.
It's not all gone to plan for Erik ten Hag, as United have been unable to get his top target in Frenkie de Jong but they've signed a rather decent, and probably more needed, alternative in Casemiro to add to the signings of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. Additionally, the club have also managed to snag his top attacking target.
The deal is still subject to international clearance and personal terms being agreed upon, but United have now confirmed the signing of exciting winger Antony from Ajax. The Brazilian comes at a hefty price, potentially rising to £85.5million, but he has been the manager's number one choice to enhance his attacking options since the start of the summer.
