Antony pushing Ajax to sell him to Man Utd

Antony is pushing Ajax to sell him to Manchester United.

De Telegraaf says Ajax may have raised their asking price for Manchester United target Antony, but that's only made the Brazilian more eager to join the Red Devils.

The forward has recently held talks with his club in order to push through a transfer to Old Trafford.

But the Amsterdam club aren't willing to do business, having expressed their concern about the number of key players that have already left this summer.

As a result, the Dutch champions have increased Antony's asking price, hiking it from £67m to £84m.

The 22-year-old struck eight goals and provided four assists in 23 Eredivisie appearances last season.
