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.
Yes after Lisandro Martinez came to Man United, they still want to be with Antony. Ten Hag had so much faith in Antony that he wanted him to join. It's a pity that Ajax gave a heavy price to avoid hijacking players by Ten Hag. I don't hear any more updates on Man United's decision. Because lastly I heard De Jong didn't want to go to Man united for personal reasons. But the club is trying to take it off to reduce the salary budget. Perhaps all those difficulties were put in place as well because Man United would not be playing in the UCL.
