Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder taunts United with Champions League absence in response to Antony bid from Premier League club

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ajax trainer Alfred Schreuder took a swipe at Manchester United while reminding Antony he will be missing the UEFA Champions League if he opts to join the Premier League side.

United boss Erik ten Hag, who worked with Antony at Ajax, is keen to bring the Brazilian winger to Old Trafford but Ajax are standing firm over their €100 million (£84.8 million) valuation for their prized asset.

But Schreuder is not enthusiastic about the Premier League club's persistent interest in the 22-year-old as he provided updates about the future of the Brazilian forward.
