Ajax manager reveals why he is confident that Antony won’t join Manchester United

Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has been speaking about the future of Antony.

The Brazilian is being strongly linked with a big-money move to Manchester United.

The Red Devils are reportedly set to offer around €950 million for the winger, however, the Ajax boss has other ideas.

“I am confident that he will be playing for Ajax one week from now”

Schreuder is confident that Antony will still be playing for the Dutch club in a week’s time.

The transfer window is due to close next Thursday and it is likely that the Brazilian will be a very hot topic.

Manchester United are clearly throwing everything at this deal and importantly, the 22-year-old is also pushing for the move.

He said: “What he wants, there is nothing I can do about that.

“He has a contract with Ajax. We already sold many players, our players have ambition.

“I am confident that he will be playing for Ajax one week from now.”
