Fabrizio Romano: confirmed Manchester United is now ready to sign Ajax attacker

Manchester United‘really wants’ to sign Ajax attacker Antony, according to Fabrizio Romano.

With the addition of left-back Tyrell Malacia in the summer transfer window, the Red Devils are currently actively pursuing new players.

Additionally, they are making progress in their pursuit of Christian Eriksen after the two parties verbally agreed on something.

Antony is another player who has been linked with a reunion with Erik ten Hag after scoring 22 goals and providing 20 assists in his 78 Ajax appearances.

Romano, who previously said that Antony’s rise with Ajax was down to the ‘incredible work’ from Ten Hag, told GIVEMESPORT that United ‘really wants to bring the Brazilian to Old Trafford.

“Let’s see if they can find a solution for a number nine or if they can go for Antony.

Antony has gone from strength to strength under Ten Hag and now holds a career-high £31.5m Transfermarkt valuation. He’s still only 22 years of age, so you’d like to think that he could improve on his already impressive game.

Ten Hag currently does not have a senior star right-winger to select from, so bringing Antony to Old Trafford would make sense.

Hopefully, United’s good transfer progress will continue in the following weeks, and it appears that United would like Antony to be their big attacking arrival.
