Agent Arrive Carrington – Manchester United Preparing New Bid for ‘World-Class’ Star; His Agents Are Already in England

Manchester United has made a new proposal for Ajax, as the Northern club looks to clinch a deal for young winger Antony. According to Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic, the two clubs have lately discussed the pricing and arrangement of the transaction, with Ajax seeking roughly £85 million for the player.

What Is Ajax Looking for in a New Bid?

Laurie Whitwell believes Ajax is adamant about a cost of £85 million. Fortunately for the Red Devils, the fact that Ajax is negotiating the form of the agreement suggests that this money will not be spent all at once.

Despite being a member of Europe’s elite, Ajax remains a selling club. However, after losing Lisandro Martinez to Manchester United earlier in the transfer season, the Amsterdam side is under no financial obligation to finalize the trade. Erik ten Hag’s old team can set their own price rather than succumbing to the financial muscle of the Glazers’ outfit.

Is Antony Interested in Moving?

The Brazilian winger is clearly interested in the transfer. According to Fabrizio Romano, Antony and Manchester United have reached an agreement on a long-term contract. According to Mike McGrath of The Telegraph, the players’ agents are in England seeking an arrangement with the Old Trafford leadership. Competing at the greatest level is vital for the Brazilians in a World Cup year, especially with competition for slots from the likes of Neymar, Richarlison, Raphinha, and Vinicius Jr.

Does the Transfer Address Manchester United’s Issue?

Antony’s transfer to Manchester United is a fantastic one. However, it does not address the club’s problems. While there aren’t many wide players, Carrington says there aren’t many forwards in training. Meanwhile, Antony concentrates on playing wide and cutting inside to finish.

Whether or not Antony answers the right problem, the Brazilian is another tool in Ten Hag’s arsenal. The Manchester side is looking to jumpstart the season after beating Liverpool, and the winger’s flair and inventiveness may make a major difference in the squad’s morale and quality.
