Erik ten Hag wants to strengthen his attacking options before the transfer window closes and Antony, his former player at Ajaxis his main target.
However, the Dutch club is demanding €100 million (£84.5 million) and United have so far refused to meet their asking price.

The report claims United were made aware of Asensio’s availability before finalizing their £60m deal for Casemiro.
