The 22-year-old Brazilian winger has been a goal of new United manager Erik ten Hag all summer, and it is believed that the Old Trafford club has agreed to pay Ajax's enormous asking price for him.

The Premier League heavyweights are convinced they can close a deal with a down payment of £74 million and up to an additional £10 million in add-ons.

After purchasing Brazilian midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid for £60 million, United will have spent a staggering £205.2 million for the summer.Additionally, they acquired Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord for £12.9 million and Argentine center-back Lisandro Martinez from Ajax for £48.3 million.
Christian Eriksen, a free agent, was also signed by the team.
Just £1 million separates Antony's total cost from Harry Maguire's £85 million club record transfer fee to United.
United, though, has not yet ceased splurging.
Following his pursuit of PSV Eindhoven attacker Cody Gakpo, former Ajax manager Ten Hag intends to spend even more money and return to his native country.

The star, 23, is worth £42 million.
