Manchester United must overcome a 'pact' with Ajax if they're to sign Antony this summer.

United are keen on the young Brazilian, with reports suggesting his agents were in London on the weekend for talks at the club's Mayfair office.

However, The Times says there exists an informal pact between the two clubs struck during negotiations for manager Erik ten Hag that United would not attempt to sign multiple players from the Dutch.

As such, United risk souring relations with Ajax with their pursuit of Antony.

It's understood the striker is keen to see Ten Hag and United push through with a deal for him.
