According to De Telegraaf, Antony wants the transfer completed within the next 48 hours and has already agreed to a five-year contract with United.

The report asserts that Antony’s team are already house hunting in Manchester, while the player is urging Ajax’s technical directors Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Gerry Hamstra to allow his move to Old Trafford.

Antony is believed to have been intent on forcing through a switch to United having missed training with Ajax last week, as well as their 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam at the weekend.

National Daily further gathered that Antony posing alongside his brother for a picture on Instagram, made it obvious that he was watching United’s latest 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday evening in a bid to show his love for the Red Devils.

Meanwhile, it is understood that Ajax have been angered by United’s continual bid for their striker in the final few weeks of the transfer window as reported by De Telegraaf.

And Antony speaking about his future in an interview with De Telegraaf last week, maintained: ‘What I can say is that I want to come to the right decision with my family, business partners and Ajax, which is good for everyone. In the end, God determines my future.’

Asked if he could guarantee his stay at Ajax this summer, he added: ‘No, to be perfectly honest, I can’t.
‘Now I am focusing on playing football and have put all other matters in the hands of my agents and my brother. They will advise me on what is best.’
