Morning Man Utd fans

Man Utd are reportedly in talks over a £51million transfer for Ajax winger Antony.

The 22-year-old Brazilian enjoyed a productive year under Erik ten Hag at Ajax last season, bagging 12 goals and 10 assists in 33 appearances in all competitions.

According to GOAL, Antony’s agents have flown to Europe for talks with United over a £51mi transfer.

The report indicates a deal could be struck in the coming days between the two parties.

Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong’s agent is set to hold talks with Barcelona over his client’s future amid United’s reported interest.

Mundo Deportivo states that De Jong’s representative Ali Dursun is scheduled to fly to the Catalan capital within the next few days.

The Spanish outlet adds that manager Xavi would only agree to the midfielder’s departure if the club signed a worthy replacement.

The Barcelona boss’ preferred choice in that case would be Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.

In other news, Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Benfica star Darwin Nunez… but Manchester United want to hijack their deal.

Jurgen Klopp is keen to get the £86million deal done as he searches for a replacement for Bayern Munich bound Sadio Mane.

But according to Portuguese reporter Pedro Sepulveda, United aren’t ready to give up on signing the Uruguayan.

He told Sky Sports on Thursday that Red Devils chiefs are set to meet with Nunez’s agent Jorge Mendes.

And finally, United are keen on Leicester’s Wesley Fofana, according to RMC Sport.

The 21-year-old centre-back missed much of the season that just finished due to injury.

It is rumoured that the Foxes will demand a fee of £68m with Chelsea also keeping their eyes on the Frenchman.
