Antony Changes Manchester Utited Transfer Stance Dramatically After Nightmare Opening Two Games
Ajax attacking dynamo, Antony is apparently no longer angling for a reunion with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United after their calamitous start to the season.
Antony was part of the Ajax side that clinched a third Dutch title in four years under Ten Hag last term, notching 10 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.
Unsurprisingly, the Brazilian winger emerged as a summer target for Ten Hag once it became clear to the Dutchman that his new side were in need of attacking reinforcements.
Despite Ten Hag’s desire to strike a deal with his old club, Manchester United were warned against tabling a bid for Antony and it now appears as though their hopes of luring the 22-year-old to Old Trafford are over.
According to De Telegraaf, Antony is believed to ‘no longer be an option for Manchester United’ and that the forward would now ‘think twice’ if he was presented with the opportunity to work alongside Ten Hag in England following United’s nightmare start to the season.
United are currently rock bottom of the Premier League after starting the new campaign with back-to-back defeats against Brighton and Brentford, who trounced Ten Hag’s beleaguered side 4-0 at the weekend.
The result means that Ten Hag has made the worst start of any Manchester United manager in over a century.
