"Ajax" forward Antony demands a transfer to "Manchester United." It is reported that the 22-year-old Brazilian deliberately skipped "Ajax's" Friday training session ahead of Sunday's "Eredivisie" league match. The forward was at the training base but did not join the team. Antony is demanding a transfer after it was revealed by "The Athletic" newspaper that Amsterdam club rejected an €80 million offer from "Manchester United." "Telegraaf" journalist Mike Verweij stated that the "Ajax" forward was in perfect physical condition on Thursday, but did not train on Friday. Most likely, the player simply wants to move to the Manchester team under his former coach. It is not clear yet how the situation will end, but the Amsterdam team has already prepared a backup plan in case Antony leaves. This would involve former team player Hakim Ziyech, who is currently unwanted at "Chelsea." Meanwhile, the "Red Devils" are also expected to soon acquire Real Madrid defensive midfielder Casemiro for €60 million.
