Manchester United have reached an agreement for the €100million signing of Antony, but the Brazilian winger won't be available to face Leicester City on Thursday.
United confirmed on Tuesday lunchtime that they have agreed a deal with Ajax to sign the 22-year-old, subject to personal terms being agreed and international clearance. The forward will put pen to paper on a five-year deal, with the option of an extra year.
But United require a visa for Antony and that won't arrive in time to allow the forward to feature at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.
