According to reports, AJAX forward Antony has informed the team that he needs to find a transfer to Manchester United within the next 48 hours.

Ajax is apparently willing to “compromise” on the player’s transfer fee, giving Manchester United another encouraging development over the player’s future.

The 22-year-old has been sought after by the Dutch manager all summer, and he wants to get him into the United front line.

According to The Athletic, the Dutch team is willing to lower the €100 million (£84.5 million) transfer fee they first requested as United works to reach an agreement with Erik ten Hag’s old team.

It is currently believed that the Eredivisie side are willing to talk after MEN Sport reported that United are preparing a second offer for the Brazilian winger.

The player himself is said to be in desperate need of a transfer after being left out of Ajax’s matchday squad against Sparta Rotterdam.

On Wednesday evening, SunSport exclusively reported that the Red Devils are close to finalizing a deal to sign the 22-year-old Brazilian winger.

It follows a protracted summer-long saga in which Manchester United repeatedly failed to sign him.

De Telegraaf reports that Antony is currently exerting pressure on Ajax to complete the trade within the next two days.

His last appearance was in a 6-1 victory over Groningen on August 14; he scored in that game. He was absent from their 1-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam over the weekend.
The enormous purchase is expected to cost £74 million up front and a further £10 million in add-ons.

Antony has participated in 82 games with Ajax, making 24 goals and 22 assists.
He will become Erik ten Hag’s fifth summer addition if a deal is finalized.
