that the player has been decided to join Manchester United. United acquired the Brazilian for an amount not less than 100 million after the Dutch club rejected 90 million the previous day.
Atony, 22, has been with Ajax for the last two years. Last season he scored 12 goals and contributed 10 assists. Expect Atony to do wonders in United’s attack.
There is no doubt that Atony, who has good possession, speed and dribbling ability to deceive defenders, will strengthen Manchester United’s forward rate and give more confidence to the team.
In the last two seasons, Manchester United have performed well in the Champions League and the Dutch League under new coach Erik ten Hag. The Brazilian is United’s fifth signing of the season.
Manchester United are really close to signing Antony! Ajax finally accepted to negotiate on the fee and add-ons structure to reach €100m. Talks will continue later today. 🚨🔴 #MUFC
