Man United on Verge of Landing Top Ajax Striker Days After Signing Casemiro from Real Madrid

• Man United are reportedly inching closer to signing Ajax striker Antony this summer
• United are keen to strengthen their attack line, with Cristiano Ronaldo currently unsettled
• Reports suggest the Red Devils could fork out as much as £84million to secure the services of Antony

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of landing the signing of Ajax striker Antony.

Erik ten Hag is keen to add more firepower in his attack and had listed Antony on his summer transfer wishlist.

According to The Sun, United are now a few steps away from landing the signing of the Ajax hotshot.

The publication reports the Old Trafford club are understood to have met Ajax’s huge asking price for the Brazil winger.

The Dutch giants have slammed an £84million price tag on the 22-year-old, but United are confident they get a deal over the line with a down-payment of £74m.

Should Antony complete the transfer, it will bring the Red Devils' summer expenditure to an eyewatering £205.2m.

Who else has Manchester United signed?

United have already signed four new players this summer, including Casemiro, who arrived at the club earlier in the week from Real Madrid in a £60m transfer deal.

The Ten Hag-tutored side have also added two defenders within their ranks in the shape of Lisandro Martinez, who joined from Ajax, and Tyrell Malacia.

United managed to snap up former Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur middleman Christian Eriksen in the midfield.

However, Ten Hag is not expected to stop there, with reports suggesting the Dutchman is looking to sign PSV Eindhoven attacker Cody Gakpo.
