Antony Pressurizing Ajax to Green-Light Old Trafford Move
The fact that the Brazilian winger is starting to look for places to live in Manchester is a big sign that he is confident that a move to the Premier League heavyweights will be done before the end of the summer transfer window. The Red Devils are reportedly confident of getting the move done and want to give Ten Hag his priority target to improve their front line.
De Telegraaf also adds that Antony has let the Dutch club known that he wants a deal to be done in the next 48 hours. He wants them to co-operate with United for a deal as he dreams of playing in the Premier League. United are reportedly going to put in a new bid which should be closer to £80 million after a few earlier offers were rejected.
