Man Utd to 'come back' with 'massive offer' for €80m long-term target 'this week'

Man Utd are reportedly ready to 'come back' for Ajax striker Antony and the Red Devils will make a 'massive offer' for him 'this week'.

Antony and Erik ten Hag have a lot of admiration for each other.

The winger was one of the first players linked with a move to Man Utd when the Dutchman took over at Old Trafford earlier this summer.

John Murtough risks being a reluctant poster boy for Man Utd's summer of doom

Talk about the 22-year-old's move to United has died down in recent weeks. Indeed, Ajax are unwilling to accept an offer lower than their €80m asking price.

The Red Devils managed to sign Antony's former Ajax team-mate Lisandro Martinez for £56m this summer. Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia have also joined on permanent contracts.

Club supporters were prematurely optimistic heading into the 2022/23 campaign and that quickly faded.

Two Premier League defeats, the second embarrassingly to Brentford, left them bottom of the table.

With just two weeks to go before the end of the transfer window, the United hierarchy now appears to be busy bolstering Ten Hag's squad. It was about time, really.

Although their lack of organization is clear as they have been linked to every player under the sun in recent days.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Casemiro, Adrien Rabiot, Moises Caicedo and Frenkie de Jong (obviously) are among them.

United are also still looking for a right winger and that's where Antony's name pops up again.

The striker registered twelve goals and ten assists under Ten Hag last season. Speaking earlier this week, the Ajax star remained coy about United's interest in him:

"Is Ten Hag going to call me? No idea. He has to discuss it with my agents, I'm concentrating on that. Whatever comes, we'll see.

"I feel good at Ajax. I give everything for this club, every minute. So I love this city and this club."

With United running out of targets, they are now ready to 'come back' for Antony, according to Sky Sports' Dharmesh Sheth.

The Red Devils are said to be preparing a 'massive offer' for the winger, although no price is mentioned.

This proposal will be 'presented' to Ajax by the end of 'this week'. He notes that there was previously a "big valuation gap" between the Dutch side and United.
