Ajax don’t want to lose winger Antony, but if they have to, they want to extract maximum value.
That’s according to a recent report from the Daily Mail, who claims the Eredivisie champions value the Brazilian winger, who is wanted by Manchester United, at as much as £67.5m.
Following an abysmal start to the new 2022-23 season that has seen Erik ten Hag lose his first two competitive matches in charge, the Red Devils are understandably desperate to bring in some much-needed talent.
Although Antony has been a name heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford, a move has so far failed to materialise.
It is understandable why ten Hag is keen to be reunited with Ajax’s enigmatic number 11, but it isn’t just attacking reinforcements that the 52-year-old tactician needs.

The priority this window is without question bringing in a new defensive midfielder and although it looks like the 20-time league winners will miss out on Barcelona’s Frenkie De Jong and Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot, talks for Real Madrid’s Casemiro do appear to be ‘progressing’ (The Athletic).
Whether or not United can work out deals for more than one player remains to be seen, however, with Antony now valued at close to £70m and Real Madrid wanting £60m for Casemiro (BBC Sport), one thing is for sure, whatever happens between now and the end of the window next month, the Red Devils must be prepared to splash the cash.
We’re good at talking than action
NATO = No Actions Talk Only
Why don`t united just buy cas and Antony instead of wasting too much on frankie and the other man from At.
This is unlike Man U. I use to hear such story, story, story by Arsenal; but, Man U seem to be doing much of the talking this days instead of action!
There is time for everything but atleast we still need 3 more player
Man u it well. if they are not ready to buy players then sell the club if not relegation await you
Am just tired of this man utd transfer problem, u need players to help u ,u promised the gaffer that u will support him in the transfer market but am yet to see it, why not splash the cash get him the players he desires then u can bravely judge him at the end of the season
How much for Casemiro? He’s 30. Anything to get Anthony and re-coop the money by selling Rashford perhaps. They have this problem every transfer window, if it takes several years of failure before someone in that Club says this is not working let’s change it. It is going to be the same length of time before United can dream of winning the Carabao Cup.
Manchester United should just get Antony, casimiro,neves and right back.
Man u must be stupid, they wanted to land casemiro for 60m, they are just usles team. They don’t know what’s wrong with them at all
Man Utd should go for Milinkovic of Lazio and Anothy of Ajax… And stop this too much talk and no actions
Pls man u should help Eric ,we need players ,we want our team to be more competition within and outside!some players that are not active need to understand that they HV replacement at the bench so that everyone will be serious
Hmmm
This system of talking with out action existed in arsenal not the mighty Manchester United I am tired of following up the story from one player to the other.my fellow supporters until we get rid of some lousy players who doesn’t feet in the club like shirt number 2,3,4,5,10,23 etc these people their time is off completely so what I mean is that you can buy good tomatoes and put them together with the rotten one . for how long should we continue like this, the board must live the club
Is Anthony worse than Sancho? If not then that price seems OK. If Casemiro is good enough for Real Madrid then he’s worth £60m. Ideally just buy both. Definitely at least one.
Its now time to splash cash just get antony ,casemiro and if possible arightback and matheus cunha.
It’s really annoying right now like I should see all MU directories and give them all knock on their heads maybe they will wake up from their slumber. What nonsense is going on at this mighty Club? Why just talking and no action like Arsenal used to? I have followed up for countless players and none has materialize. This is absolutely nonsense 💯
Pls and please man utd we need back up players board should try and help Eric ten hag to buy antony, Casemiro and one right back with striker so that we can compete with the rest club
my best club in the whole world is giving me heart attack now why man u? please my man u i really need change and i need four more signings, right wing, left wing, right back and one midfider
As man u fan frm uganda man u is lacking central defender , defensive midfielder and no 9.
MU always bought expensive signing DUDS like 80 mil Maguire, Sancho, Bruno..etc etc
Not a new news at MU…LMAO🤣🤣🤣
