Man United make £38m offer for 22-year-old winger Erik Ten Hag knows well

 

According to recent reports, Manchester United are upping their pursuit of a new attacker.

That’s according to a recent report from journalist Jorge Nicola, who has claimed the Red Devils have offered Ajax £38m (€45m) for winger Antony.

Young attacker Mason Greenwood has been suspended by the club for six months and with the Englishman showing no signs of making a return, it is expected that Ten Hag will push his new employers to bring in a capable replacement.

Antony, 22, has been with Ajax since he moved from Brazilian side Sao Paulo back in 2020.

Working under Ten Hag for the past two years, the South American, who has three years left on his deal, could prove to be the ideal signing for the Dutchman at Old Trafford.

Left-footed and a hugely technical winger who often cuts in from the wing, the Brazilian’s attacking flair would likely make him an instant fan-favourite at Old Trafford.

Having featured in 79 senior matches for Ajax, Antony has racked up 22 goals and provided a further 20 assists, in all competitions.
