Manchester United have been linked with Antony for some time and the latest reports suggest that the Red Devils are leading the race to secure his signing.

Transfer: Ten Hag could submit offer to sign £58million player for Man Utd – Report
According to Tutto Juve, the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juventus are interested in luring the Brazilian international but Man Utd are in pole position.
It is stated that Ten Hag is expected to join the 20-time English champions and he wishes to reinforce his squad by bringing in Antony from the Eredivisie giants.
The 22-year-old winger still has more than three years left on his contract with Ajax and reports in Brazil (UOL) have indicated that he is valued at around £33million (40 million euros).
At the moment, the 9-capped international is out with an ankle injury but his form has been fantastic when fit. So far, in all competitions, he has netted 12 goals and provided 10 assists this season.
Antony was a key member of the Brazilian Olympic Squad that won the Gold medal last year. The former Sao Paulo winger set up the winning goal in the final against Spain.
