This season I saw Manchester United being very careful in the transfer market, maybe they learned from their failure when they bought Pogba and Harry Maguire, Antony is a very talented player and coach Erik Ten Hag knew him very well when they were both at Ajax. However, because the price set by Ajax is a bit expensive, Manchester United is very careful in making an official offer.
Manchester United were interested in a lot of players but not many players they managed to bring in. That's a bad thing about them because basically they've wasted enough time on players who don't really want to join them.
About Antony, he is a good Ajax player as he seems. He has good skills to operate on the wing and I like his style of play, but it seems that Manchester United's desire to sign Antony is also not to be expected because the price is too high. Ajax don't want to lose their players, but they will accept an offer if it's high enough and hard to turn down.
