Manchester United have been on pursuit for Ajax forward Antony for a while now. Ajax have lost a couple of their first-team players in the transfer window. The Dutch giants had put a giant asking price on their players to ward off incoming clubs. United had shown interest in Antony however Ajax had put a 70M price tag on him. However, according to reports, Ajax have green lit a move for the winger.
Ajax’s technical manager Gerry Hamstra confirmed that Antony could be on his way.
“We want to keep this group together. I am assuming that nobody will leave from this core. Of course, you can never say never, I have learned that. But we also talk to the players about it and have discussions. Also with guys who might have a wish to leave. And that Ajax players are in demand, that is logical, there is capital on the pitch. They are all boys who have developed further with us.”
