Antony pushing for Manchester United move

It is understood that Antony is also desperate to seal the transfer and has refused to train with Ajax as he attempts to force through a move to United.

The Brazilian star has now dropped the biggest hint yet on his desire to join the Red Devils after a photo of him posing alongside his brother watching United in action against Liverpool surfaced.

Emerson Santos, who is also part of Antony’s entourage, included a red devil emoji as he pictured a live shot of Man United’s match on his television.

United's performance during the encounter may have offered Antony a glimpse of the kind of teammates he is likely to play alongside as they staged a brilliant performance to down Liverpool.

A goal on either half from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford was all Old Trafford dwellers needed to see off Jurgen Klopp's charges.

According to Football Espana and FOTMOB, Perez has labelled Casemiro as a role model for the younger players and revealed the Brazilian leaves Real Madrid as a club legend.
