Manchester United are given new hope in the pursuit of Ajax striker Anthony, while a rumored Chelsea target will cost £70m – both in the gossip on Wednesday.

The Ajax president gets the attention of a stern man

Manchester United Anthony could still sign from Ajax after their manager made a striking admission about his future.

The Red Devils are said to be looking at Anthony as one of the options to improve their front line. The Brazilian player can play as a winger on either wing and scored 12 goals and made 10 assists last season.

Erik ten Hag focuses on Ajax stars past and present to improve his team, because he either has a good relationship with them or knows they have the traits that fit his system.

United brought in Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen, both of whom had previously won the league title with Ajax. They’ve also signed Tyrell Malacia, although he’s an exception to Ajax’s apparent Ten Hag rule.

Over the weekend, Ajax first team coach Alfred Schroeder Effectively ended United hopes of relegating Anthony.

He said: “I really think he will stay. Of course, we have sold a lot of players now. That has not happened in recent years.

“We bought players too. But we sold so many players that I assume no one is going to leave.”

But coach Jerry Hamstra has opened up the possibility of one of Schroeder’s stars moving to Old Trafford.

During an interview with a Dutch outlet international football (Across the sun), he admitted that “you can never say” when it comes to summer transfers.

He also noted that there are some players who “have a desire to leave”, and Anthony is likely to be among them.

“We want to keep this group together. I suppose no one leaves this pulp anymore,” Hamstra said. “Of course you can never say, I’ve learned that now.

“But we also talk about it with the players, have conversations. Also with the boys who might want to leave. The Ajax players are drawn, that makes sense.”

Ten Hag can already count on Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Ilanga and Anthony Martial in wide areas. But adding Anthony to the squad would improve the manager’s options and help United chase him back into the Champions League.
