Manchester United broke the transfer market with two elite signings and both South Americans. After the arrival of Casemiro, the English have broken all kinds of stereotypes by hiring striker Antony Matheus dos Santos for a figure of $100 million dollars to make him the second most expensive signing in the history of the club, since the first is Paul Pogba for $105 million dollars.
Despite Ajax Amsterdam’s refusal to part with one of its biggest pearls from its club, after rejecting a first offer of $90 million dollars, they had no choice but to accept the request of the same player who knows the Dutchman Erik Ten Hag very well.
The winger of 22 years landed in England yesterday afternoon to complete the respective medical examinations for later affix his signature as a new Manchester United player until 30 June 2027.
Likewise, the Brazilian will only have to wait to have his work visa approved in order to put himself under the command of Erik Ten Hag, which may cause the winger to miss the next date in the Premier League.
With Ajax Amsterdam , Antony scored 31 goals and distributed 27 assists in 134 official matches. In addition, he also has a Dutch league title and a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
In this way, Manchester United added their fifth reinforcement in the current transfer market, after acquiring Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martínez and the five-time UEFA Champions League champion, Casemiro.
