Man Utd target Antony ‘tells Ajax he wants transfer in next 48 HOURS’ after Red Devils make huge £84m offer
AJAX forward Antony has reportedly told the club he wants to secure a move to Manchester United within the next 48 HOURS.
SunSport exclusively revealed on Wednesday night that the Red Devils are on the brink of finally completing a deal for the Brazilian winger, 22.
It comes after a summer-long saga in which Man Utd have struggled to secure his signature.
According to De Telegraaf, Antony is now putting pressure on Ajax to ensure the transfer is sealed within the next two days.
He played no part in their 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam at the weekend, with his last appearance coming in a 6-1 victory over Groningen on August 14 – a match he scored in.
The huge deal is set to consist of £74million up front and a further £10m in add-ons.
