Manchester United are waiting for Ajax to hold a board meeting over wantaway forward Antony before making their next move for the £84m Brazilian... with Red Devils confident the move will go ahead if the Dutch side find a replacement

Manchester United are awaiting the outcome of a board meeting at Ajax before making their next move for winger Antony.

Ajax rejected United's £76million bid for the Brazilian on Friday but the 22-year-old was hoping the Dutch club's finance directors would instead see the benefit of accepting such an offer.

Antony and his agents reason that such an offer may not come again and he has pleaded for the opportunity to join United. He is refusing to train and has been left out of Sunday's game with Utrecht.
