Manchester United and Ajax are close to reaching an agreement on Antony's transfer.
Manchester United are poised to reach a deal with Ajax on a move for Antony in the summer transfer window, according to Jorge Nicola via UtdPlug on Twitter (h/t Manchester Evening News). He has been extensively connected with reuniting with Erik ten Hag by joining the English side for the upcoming season.
Man United is presently scouting the market in order to add at least one forward to their roster this summer. Ten Hag is rumored to desire to rejoin with Antony in Manchester, prompting speculation about a possible transfer.
Both teams are now expected to reach an agreement on the parameters in the next days, according to reports. Antony could reunite with ten Hag once more once the project is over, as the Red Devils want to complete a roster overhaul in order to help them develop for the future.

It was reported earlier this week that the Manchester club is set to meet with Antony's representative to discuss a possible transfer and personal terms. Now, according to the most recent update, it appears that we are going another step forward in this pursuit by attempting to reach an agreement with the Eredivise side as well.
If this information is correct, all that remains is for us to reach an agreement with the Brazilian ahead of the upcoming campaign. After that, bringing in the highly-rated Antony this summer would ensure our right wing for the long-term future.
The 22-year-old has 12 goals and ten assists in 33 games across all competitions in his breakthrough season. That is an excellent return, and those figures are certain to improve if he stays on his current course. Furthermore, with a better squad, that productivity might improve even more, making for exciting days ahead if we can complete his move.
However, it remains to be seen what the cost will be if a deal for the South American forward is reached. It was previously reported that Antony is worth roughly £51 million, so we'll have to wait and see if that's true or not.
We've been without a genuine right-winger in our ranks since Mason Greenwood's lengthy suspension, as Jadon Sancho had already been switched to the left. Our squad composition would be more balanced if Antony were to join us, thus fans are hoping to see the Brazilian international at the Theatre of Dreams next season.
