Manchester United have agreed a deal with Dutch side Ajax for Brazil winger Antony.

Report indicate that United will pay an initial fee of £80.75m, with a further £4.25m in add-ons.

The Brazilian has scored 25 goals and provided 22 assists in 82 appearances for Ajax and played under current United boss Erik ten Hag.

Antony scored seven goals in his Champions League appearances for Ajax and made his international debut for Brazil in October 2021.

When the deal is confirmed, he would become the joint – fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history.

He would become United’s fifth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of his former Ajax team-mate, defender Lisandro Martinez, midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid, full-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and playmaker Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.
