Taking to Twitter, the Portuguese journalist wrote “Manchester United is seriously pushing Ajax to sign #Antony, the player has already informed Dutch club that he wants join English club and at the moment the transfer is 90% complete.”

It should be noted that Almeida isn’t the most trustworthy source, so this information should be taken with a grain of salt.
Nonetheless, a number of other journalists have corroborated United’s actual interest in Antony.
Other clubs, including Chelsea and Liverpool, have scouted the 22-year-old, but the Red Devils appear to be the favourites to sign him.
The winger is reported to be on ten Hag’s list of objectives as he attempts to enhance his attacking options.
However, for the time being, the major focus remains on bringing in at least one midfielder, with speculation that the club would also prioritise bringing in a centre-half and a right-back.
