Antony

Manchester United have a personal agreement in place with Antony for a five-year deal which will run until 2027.

A move to Old Trafford would see Antony form a reunion with Erik ten Hag and Lisandro Martinez at United. [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3535934/2022/08/24/manchester-united-antony-deal/?source=emp_shared_article) claim United are confident of reaching an agreement with Ajax to sign Antony.

But on Monday night the Dutchman finally got his tenure up and running as he led his side to a 2-1 victory over fierce rivals Liverpool. United are facing a battle to get their deal for Antony over the line, with Ajax rejecting a £67.6million bid for him last week. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc)’s deal for Antony is reportedly dragging on due to a clause in his Ajax contract that orders the Dutch champions to hand his former club Sao Paulo 20 per cent of any profit when he is sold. So United could be set to finally land their man. And he is said to be house-hunting in Manchester already. Antony has been in mesmerising form since joining Ajax two years ago.

Manchester United are reportedly growing increasingly hopeful they can secure the signing of Antony before the transfer window closes, with the player ...

United will hope to get the deal over the line in what would be their fifth summer signing. To that end, there’s a growing belief that a deal will be finalised well before the window closes. However, talks between the clubs will soon likely step up as they discuss the breakdown over that arrangement. Currently, that is held by Harry Maguire, whom Transfermarkt say cost a final fee of £78.3m. The Red Devils are looking to secure a second signing of the summer on Ajax, with a deal for the Brazilian now United’s No 1 priority. While that may seem a tad presumptuous from the player, it seems it is with good reason. The nine-times capped Brazil attacker is also already looking for properties around the Cheshire area ahead of the move. That’s after trusted transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims Antony has already agreed personal terms with United over a five-year deal to 2027. To that end, Ten Hag has been exploring one of two potential recruits. The first of those, Cody Gakpo, was one player Ten Hag was strongly considering. To that end, they will not accept a compromise on the fee. Boss Erik ten Hag is desperate to add more goals to his attack, and moreso given ongoing uncertainty over Cristiano Ronaldo.

Football365 - Ajax are 'feverishly discussing' whether to pull out of a deal for Ziyech which could scupper Man Utd's move for Antony.

Antony has asked Ajax to leave since last week: only wants United.’ Fabrizio Romano added on Twitter: ‘Manchester United have not submitted new official bid for Antony yet – it will be sent to Ajax soon, matter of time. Ziyech – who moved to Chelsea from Ajax for £36m two years ago – is thought to be keen on a return to the Eredivisie club with the Blues willing to see the back of him for the right price.

Manchester United have submitted a new bid for the forward with 'only one outcome' now looking likely.

Last season, the attacker contributed 12 goals and 10 assists from 33 appearances in all competitions. It could be a busy end to the transfer window for United, with the club willing to spend significant sums in order to recruit new signings. Antony has also become a regular in the Brazil squad and stands every chance of being included in their World Cup squad later this year.

Manchester United are set for an incredibly busy final week of the summer transfer window if Fabrizio Romano's latest update is anything to go by.

“But now it’s time for Man Utd to reach a full agreement with Ajax. “It’s a loan with a buy option clause, which I’m told is around £5million. There’s been a full agreement on the contract since last week, personal terms are agreed so everything is ready between Antony and Manchester United. “He wants Manchester United. “Now, big chance for Man United to submit a new proposal for a player who is really, really pushing. The 23-year-old and his agent are pushing for a move to Old Trafford after United’s £67million bid was rejected last week.

The pressure will be on, but if he can make it work, Antony could light up the Premier League. Let’s see how fans reacted to the highlights reel. At the time of writing, the video has amassed over 222,000 views and been ‘liked’ close to three thousand times, with fans gushing over the Brazilian in the comments section.

Manchester United face a dilemma over signing Antony from Ajax due to Lisandro Martinez's arrival at Old Trafford, according to Tim Vickery.

‘He had been first choice throughout the campaign and for the first game they dropped him. He played for Brazil at U23 level, which is a big deal here, to qualify for the Olympics. Because he was playing winger, left footed, high right and every time he was slowing them down. [check our sport page](https://metro.co.uk/sport/). They had to beat Argentina. ‘That’s not going to happen.

Man Utd are in advanced talks to sign Antony from Ajax for a fee in the region of £80m; Erik ten Hag coached the Brazilian winger for two years in Holland; ...

"The benchmark is that they have already gone to Ajax and taken Lisandro Martinez, and paid a lot of money for him. His versatility is undoubtedly part of the appeal to Ten Hag and United. Ten Hag will back him to deliver for him again. The same is true of the younger Anthony Elanga. But he is most comfortable on the right, where he tends to drift inside and make use of his stronger left foot. The problem they have got is a financial one. "We at Ajax are always trying to strive for the top," added Ten Hag, "so I expect he will do his best to reach that level of expectation. He has to play more effectively, because he had chances to make the last pass. "Antony had been first choice throughout the campaign and for the first time, they dropped him. He ranks outside the top 10 for both shots on goal and chances created in the same timeframe. "For sure, we hope he will be the next star of Ajax." United are willing to pay a fee in the region of £80m which has raised eyebrows.

Especially if we perform in the Champions League, then it is clear that he will come into the spotlight and be interesting for a lot of clubs. 'If you play a role in the Brazilian selection, it is clear that he will be pulled. Speaking following their 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam which Antony missed, he told reporters: 'I am assuming that the club will not sell Antony as we're in a good financial position. His directness is attractive to suitors. They will advise me on what is best.' His agents are in London to try and push through a deal, while Ajax are also lining up Hakim Ziyech as a replacement, although there are reports that the move is on the verge of collapse. The winger will hope to be part of the Selecao's team in Qatar this winter, and could join a whole host of other Premier League stars in their squad if he does complete the move to Old Trafford. He hit the ground running in Amsterdam with 10 goals and 10 assists in his first campaign before he added 12 goals and 10 assists last season. In total he has 24 goals and 22 assists in 82 games for the Dutch club, with his impressive performances in the Champions League catching the eye of a whole host of suitors across Europe. He impressed in his homeland while playing for Sao Paulo, with the winger first making his name when he won the J League Challenge tournament in Japan with the Brazilian side's youth team, and he was voted as the Player of the Tournament. The Red Devils had a £68m bid rejected for Antony last week but are expected to go in with a second £80m offer, with the Brazilian keen on the move. One player they hope to bring in is Ajax winger Antony who has been linked with a reunion with his former boss, while United are also interested in a £38million move for Dutch winger Cody Gakpo from PSV.

Manchester United are still looking to seal a deal for Antony but the Ajax winger has been reminded by his coach that he has a contract and is expected to ...

I am very happy at Ajax, I have a contract until the summer of 2025 and I will give everything for this beautiful club for every second. If we all decide that I will stay here, then I know that this is the best thing for me and the club. [De Telegraaf](https://www.telegraaf.nl/) : “No, to be perfectly honest, I can't. United have seen a £67m bid for Antony rejected as the clubs remain in dialogue over a move. I am confident that he will be playing for Ajax in one week from now." Antony has filed a transfer request in order to force through a move to Manchester.

AJAX manager Alfred Schreuder has aimed a jibe at Manchester United amid their Antony pursuit.

Questioned whether Antony would be 'crazy' to swap Ajax's mouth-watering Champions League group to play in the Europa League at United, Schreuder responded: "Absolutely." During his press conference after the draw, Schreuder also seemingly sent an indirect message, or plea, to the Ajax board over his stance on Antony's future. United failed to qualify for this season's Champions League after slumping to their worst-ever Premier League campaign in 2021/22, finishing sixth on just 58 points. And Schreuder was unsurprisingly asked about the 22-year-old's future during his Champions League draw press conference. United are expected to approach the club with an improved offer for the Brazilian winger, which has disrupted the start of Schreuder's reign in Amsterdam. Ajax rejected United's opening £67.5million bid for Antony after losing their manager, assistant and numerous key players from last season's Dutch Eredivisie-winning side earlier in the summer.
