According to The Athletic, Manchester United will make a fresh offer of £94 million for Ajax attacker Antony.
The Red Devils have had the Brazilian on their shortlist for quite a long time now. The 22-year-old has received numerous approaches from United. But all of our earlier bids have been rejected by the Eredivisie champions.
The asking price for Ajax’s star player is more than £80million. The Manchester-based club is currently attempting to lure the Dutch team with a new offer. The 22-year-old has already agreed to personal terms with the Red Devils.

Ajax manager Schreuder did not include Antony in the matchday squad since he failed to show up for practice prior to their last match against Sparta Rotterdam. The Brazilian appeared to be following our game as well as United’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool.
The 22-year-old played 33 times for Ajax last season, contributing 10 assists and scoring 12 goals. Since moving to Amsterdam in 2020, Antony has played a significant role in the Eredivisie team.
With the transfer window closing, United appears to be aiming to strengthen its attacking unit. More depth would be beneficial for the forward line.
Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are the Red Devils’ current wingers. Last season, the two were unimpressive and they are currently supported by young starlets Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho. Although the Liverpool game was impressive, the initial two games exposed the team’s weaknesses.
Against Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion, we were unable to generate enough chances or score goals. A quick and elusive winger, Antony keeps defenders on their toes as his dribbling skills are captivating.
