Ajax have entered into internal discussions about the sale of Anthony.
[골닷컴] Correspondent Choi Dae-hoon = AFC Ajax has entered into internal discussions. Manchester United’s offer for Anthony, which has been turned down for a long time, may be accepted.
On the 19th (Korean time), reporter Fabrizio Romano, who is influential in the transfer market, reported one after another about Antony, whom United are paying attention to. “Man Utd did not give up Antony,” Romano said. Ajax turned down the offer from United, but United plan to try again. Manchester United think Anthony really wants a move.”
And about an hour later, Romano reported: “Ajax are discussing Antony internally. Anthony is likely to be removed from the starting lineup this coming Sunday. Ajax turned down the offer from Manchester United, but Anthony wants a transfer.
Reporter Romano reports that Antony is eagerly awaiting a move to Manchester United, where his gifted manager, Eric ten Haach, is battalion. Ajax recently tried to keep Antony by refusing Manchester United’s €80 million (about 107 billion won) offer, but they seem to have entered into internal discussions with Antony’s continued transfer request.
Manchester United, who had the worst season, appointed Ten Haach after the end of the 2021/22 season and started a major rebuilding. Ten Haach has been recognized for his leadership by successfully leading Ajax, and he is famous for his unique charisma, so he thought he would be able to take control of Manchester United’s squad.
Even in the pre-season alone, Manchester United’s rebuilding seemed to be going well. His performance completely different from the previous season, such as a victory over Liverpool, earned a lot of anticipation from fans. Tyrell Malasia, Lissandro Martinez, and Christian Eriksen only reinforced three players, but I didn’t think it would be a big problem.
But now, just two games into the season, public opinion on Manchester United and manager Ten Haach is very negative. Manchester United’s problems in the midfield were evident in their two matches, and Martinez, whom he signed, was blamed for the defeat.
In the end, Manchester United are trying to turn the mood and performance by signing new players. While looking for players in all positions from defense to midfield and attack, coach Ten Haach is trying to reinforce the offensive line by signing Antony. Anthony is a left-footed right winger, and if he joins United, new options will be added to right-footed wingers such as Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
Manager Ten Haach did not give up despite Ajax’s continued refusal and sent a love call, and Ajax finally entered into an internal discussion. It is unclear how Anthony’s transfer saga will end, but at least it appears to be true that it has entered a new phase.
