On Monday, De Telegraaf reported that Erik ten Hag has an ‘official written offer’ from both Manchester United and RB Leipzig, and the Ajax manager would prefer a move to the Old Trafford over the German club.
It was also explained the 52-year-old would want assurances from the Red Devils that he would be given at least one season and will have a huge say in shaping up their squad.
Last week, But! Football Club stated that Ajax star Antony has emerged as a target for the Manchester club and Paris Saint-Germain. The winger has been in impressive form the Eredivisie side, managing 12 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season.
Calciomercato now claim the 22-year-old is on Juventus’ agenda and they have intensified contacts, likely with his camp. The Brazilian’s contract is until 2025 and the Amsterdam club are asking at least €35m to sanction his sale.
His salary doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Turin club, rather they are ‘studying with ever more attention also everything that may concern the management of the player even outside the technical or tactical dynamics’.
The report further adds ‘competition is fierce’ to land the South American. Bayern Munich and PSG are said to be in the picture, with the Bavarian club said to be ‘in pole position’ to take the attacker.
In the race to sign Antony, the website states that ‘without forgetting Manchester United, especially’ if Ten Hag is appointed as their next manager.
In other words, the Red Devils cannot be ignored, due to their interest in appointing the Dutch coach.
With several clubs looking at the attacker, Juve ‘launched the challenge’ on Bayern, PSG and United to sign Antony.
Juve’s efforts and Bayern being on pole means Manchester United’s chances of securing the player’s services would largely depend on them appointing Ten Hag as their next manager.
