Ajax Star Antony Finally Speaks On Joining Man Utd This Summer [VIDEO]

Ajax Star Antony Finally speaks on joining Man Utd this summer.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Ajax star Antony has finally broken his silence on Erik ten Hag’s interest in him. The Brazilian winger is one of Ten Hag’s top targets this summer as he looks to strengthen his squad.

The 22-year-old has not ruled out a move to Manchester United, although insists he is happy with the Dutch club and is not focused on a move to the Premier League.

Antony has been the Red Devils’ top attacking target this, but Ajax’s asking price has been a problem for United.

Initially, it was thought Ajax wanted around £68m for the Brazil international, but his asking price was raised to £84m, with the Eredivisie champions not wanting to lose any more key players this summer.

Manchester United did not want to spend that much on the Brazilian, but they may be getting desperate after opening the season with defeats to Brighton and Brentford.

Antony has certainly not ended speculation when asked about Manchester United’s interest and whether his former manager, Erik ten Hag, is trying to tempt him to England.

‘Will Ten Hag call me? No idea,’ Antony told NOS. ‘He has to discuss this with my agents, I’m focused on here. What will come will come, we will see?

‘I feel good at Ajax. I give everything for this club, every minute, so I am loving this city and this club.’

Manchester United appear to be in serious need of a striker this summer, especially if Cristiano Ronaldo finally gets his wish and leaves before the end of the transfer window.

The club has confirmed that they do not intend to terminate the veteran’s contract a year early, so it will take a bid from another club to get hold of the Portuguese, although no offers have come in or appear forthcoming as the stalemate continues.
