Manchester United is consistently pressing to hire the services of Antony from Ajax before the closure of the summer transfer window.
As per a report covered by Goal today, the Red Devils made a bid worth 70 million euros to lure the South American winger but it was rejected by the Dutch champions.
The famous news source claim Man Utd is ready to seal the signing of the 22-year-old and is preparing a massive fresh bid to convince Ajax.
It is stated that the Premier League side will improve the offer with add-ons and objectives but the Eredivisie giants will only accept a deal of more than 80 million euros (£67.9million).
Goal claim it is quite possible the player will be left out of the Ajax squad today when they face Sparta Rotterdam in a few hours.
Last season, no winger at Manchester United managed to achieve double figures in terms of goals scored.
Big money signing, Jadon Sancho, only found the net 5 times and so far, his performance this season has been poor.
Rashford was average in the last campaign and perhaps the most impressive winger, Greenwood, is still not available.
Having offloaded experienced attackers like Lingard and Mata, Man Utd lacks quality and depth in the offense and therefore, a move for Antony makes complete sense.
