Ajax coach Alfred Schreuder insists he has no news on the future of Antony.

The Brazil striker is a target for Manchester United.

But after yesterday's preseason win against SV Meppen, Schreuder said: “Whether it's a tough time considering all the rumours and the tug-of-war over players? It just depends on how you look at it.

“I don't find it difficult. I think it's a challenge, but you have to feel like you're going in the right direction.

“Of course a lot is being written and there are a lot of rumours. Of course I don't know the details of everything. I don't know the situation is exact. But if I had known more, I wouldn't have told you.

“Why should I say something? I could tell if I knew... Well, look, there is of course something going on. At the moment, however, nothing is concrete and that is the truth."
