Antony was at Carrington on Monday ahead of completing his move from Ajax to Manchester United.

United will formally announce Antony's move at some point over the next couple of days, with the Brazilian linking back up with Erik ten Hag in a €100million deal.

Ten Hag signed Antony for Ajax in 2020 and the pair won back-to-back Eredivisie titles together with Ajax.

For most of the summer, United were reluctant to meet Ajax's valuation of Antony and club figures doubted a deal was doable at the start of July.

United's disastrous defeats to Brighton and Brentford prompted more proactive movement in the transfer market, though, with Casemiro signed for a fee rising to £70m despite Ten Hag's fixation on Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

Antony made public his desire to leave Ajax before Thursday's transfer deadline, and Ten Hag is desperate to add a left-footed right-sided forward to his squad in order to bring better balance and creativity to the attacking line.

There is an acceptance at United that they already have a lot of similar attackers, with Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga all preferring roles as inverted left-sided forwards.
