Manchester United 'make a £51m bid for Ajax star Antony, but their proposal falls almost £20m short of the Dutch giants valuation of the Brazilian forward'... as his agents push for a deal to be accepted

Manchester United have reportedly made an offer £51million bid for Antony, however it falls almost £20m short of Ajax’s valuation.

The Brazilian forward is one of Erik ten Hag's main transfer targets this summer after flourishing under the new United boss at the Dutch giants last season.

The 22-year-old helped Ajax win the Eredivisie title for a second successive season, as he notched 12 goals and played an influential role, which has also seen him break his way into the Brazil squad.

The Red Devils are said to have made an initial bid of £51m, but Ajax are not keen to sell Antony and have told United they will have to stump up a bid of £68m for him, according to Goal.
