The representative of Ajax star and known Manchester United target Antony has taken to social media on Monday night, to drop a major hint over his client’s willingness to make the move to Old Trafford.
Reports linking Brazilian international Antony with a move to the Premier League have of course resurfaced in a major way of late.
Amid ongoing efforts on the part of the powers that be on the red half of Manchester to reinforce the club’s frontline, the 22-year-old has been identified as the ideal addition on the part of former boss Erik ten Hag.
Having already lost star defender Lisandro Martinez to the Red Devils this summer, though, Ajax, thus far, have remained staunch in their stance that Antony simply isn’t for sale.
In fact, reports in the media early last week went as far as to suggest that the Dutch champions had rebuffed an €80 million offer from United.

If the latest actions on the part of both Antony and his agent are anything to go by, though, then it would appear as though speculation in the media that the player himself has begun pushing for a move to Manchester proved altogether accurate.
As showcased below, on his official Instagram account, Santos revealed a photo of himself and his client.
More significant, though, is an accompanying picture, confirming that the pair are currently taking in Manchester United’s Premier League showdown with arch rivals Liverpool:

“It’s hard to communicate with him because of his lack of English. But I agree with what the manager just said about it.”
“Of course the ‘Antony saga’ plays a role in our squad, but we are trying to focus on the upcoming game.”
