Manchester United Transfer news LIVE: Man United bid £51million for Brazilian winger Antony
The Brazilian is coming off a season where he tallied eight goals and four assists in 23 league games, as well as another two goals and four assists in seven Champions League fixtures, showing he has what it takes at the highest level.
United’s offer has fallen well below Ajax’s acceptable figure, which is said to be €80m, although the discussions are ongoing.
His contract at Ajax runs until 2025 and new coach Alfred Schreuder hopes that the Brazil international will remain – meaning negotiations could prove to be difficult.
The former Sao Paulo attacker joined the Dutch team in 2020 and has made 78 appearances in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and making 19 assists.

Antony is not the only target for ten Hag from Ajax, as they’re also chasing defender Lisandro Martinez. Arsenal are also interested in Martinez, who is valued at £43million, but United are currently more likely to sign him.
United have been heavily linked with a number of new signing including Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who also worked under ten Hag at Ajax previously.
Despite plenty of talk, the Red Devils have only secured one signature so far, in the form of Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia.
