According to the same source, Ajax are concerned about Antony’s mental state following his struggles in Manchester.

According to sources, United is looking to sell for a reduced price of approximately £40 million.

However, after a series of poor on-field performances, even that amount of money may become unattainable.

After working with Antony at Ajax, United manager Erik ten Haɡ brought him to Old Trafford. He addressed his situation and claimed that he needed to do more to get more playtime.

Ten Haɡ stated: “He’s impatient and wants to play. However, top football has laws.

“Choose the squad with the best dynamic, synergy, and chances of winning the game. Players must earn their positions.

“The other players are doing so well; they’re contributing.” He needs to get over them. “He needs to earn the right to train.”
