According to David Ornstein of the Athletic, Manchester United target, Antony’s representatives are in London and are looking to complete the move. It has also been reported that the player’s entourage is hunting for a house in Manchester ahead of a much-awaited move.
As per the journalists, the Red Devils are confident that a deal will be agreed upon and are preparing an official bid for the player. However, the Dutch side has not received any fresh bids from United.
With the ongoing transfer saga related to Antony, the interest in Cody Gakpo has cooled down. It would be surprising if United decides to bid for both attackers before the transfer window ends.
The Brazilian winger is Ten Hag’s main priority for the summer and the manager wants to get the deal done as soon as possible. The former Ajax manager relishes the opportunity of reuniting with the 22-year-old star at Old Trafford.
The transfer has been internally discussed within the board and there are chances that a new bid will be submitted in the coming days. The player has expressed his desire to leave and has informed the club that he will only move to Manchester.
Ajax manager Schreuder had omitted the player from the squad that faced Sparta Rotterdam. It remains to be seen whether United secures the deal on time and fulfils the young star’s wish to play in front of the Old Trafford crowd.
