Despite the fact that signing a winger is a difficult task, there is a rumour that Man Utd are ready to pay ‘over the odds’ for Ajax’s Anthony. According to the Mirror, Manchester United are prepared to pay ‘over the odds’ for the Brazilian winger, despite his age. Despite the reports of the rumours, the club is still eager to sign Anthony despite Ronaldo’s recent decision to reject a move to Juventus. It is unclear exactly who is making the calls for a potential signing, but it is a clear indication that the decision makers at Old Trafford would like the deal to take place.
Man Utd could be forced to make a choice between signing Ajax forward Anthony or signing Jesse Lingard
Despite being in pole position to sign both Ajax forwards, Manchester United are competing with other Premier League sides for the duo. The talks have not moved any further, but Manchester United could be forced to make a decision between signing Jesse Lingard and Anthony. The latter is also the more expensive of the two. The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from Ajax, but the Dutch club are keen to keep him at least one more season.
Ajax midfielder De Jong is another target for United. Erik ten Hag has been monitoring the player since he took over at Old Trafford. The duo spent some time together in the Netherlands, but United could increase their efforts in bringing him to the Premier League. However, the player has indicated his desire to stay at Barcelona, and it is uncertain whether the club will be able to convince him to join them.
Ajax are likely to demand a fee of over PS50 million to sign Anthony. However, Manchester United are unlikely to give in to their demands. However, it is worth noting that Manchester United have already been linked with signing Ajax forward Antony, although they have not made an official offer. The striker wants to return to his former club to play under Erik ten Hag.
The new manager Erik ten Hag will face a huge squad overhaul after the poor season ended. The club’s points tally last season was their lowest since the Premier League was formed thirty years ago. Therefore, the new manager will be under enormous pressure to make further improvements. And with that, they will be able to sign their preferred players.
Man Utd are willing to pay ‘over and over the odds’ for the winger
Manchester United are reportedly willing to pay over the odds to sign Ajax winger Antony. However, the Dutch side want close to EUR80m for their talented attacker. Despite the fact that United have been linked with Antony, Ajax insist they will not sell until 2025. The deal could prove difficult because Ajax are unwilling to sell for that price and they do not want to lose Cristiano Ronaldo.
Manchester United are prepared to pay ‘over and over the odds–even PS51m – for Ajax winger Antony. According to reports, United have been in regular contact with Antony’s representatives in Europe to thrash out a deal. Nevertheless, the club are set to face a tough competition from Liverpool, who are managed by Erik ten Hag.
Although United have put their interest in both Antony and Timber on hold, they have not withdrawn their interest in the two players. The Red Devils are also attempting to wrest Frenkie De Jong from Barcelona. Ten Hag considers De Jong the perfect midfielder but the player is reluctant to leave the Catalan club.
Ajax are keen to keep their prized midfielder, but the club are holding out for a higher fee. Barcelona’s agent has recently declared their intention to keep de Jong at the club, but this is not a certainty. However, if the Brazilian is willing to move to Manchester, United could be the perfect fit for him.
Manchester United have a limited transfer window this summer, and they are now in desperate need of reinforcements elsewhere. Despite signing Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Lisandro Martinez from Ajax, United have failed to strengthen their squad in other areas. The squad is already stacked with talent, but Manchester United must improve elsewhere in the team to ensure that they reach the top.
Ronaldo has ruled out a move to Juventus
It is not clear what will happen to the coveted forward now that he has been ruled out of a move to Juventus. According to a report in Sky Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo has requested not to start for Juventus against Udinese last week and was placed on the bench instead. He came on as a substitute in the 2-2 draw, and had a late goal, which was then cancelled when he was booked for taking off his shirt in celebration. Nevertheless, this news has sparked speculation that a move is imminent, and that it is likely to be in the Premier League.
A report from ESPN claims that Mendes and Woodward kept in touch about the negotiations for Ronaldo. Mendes had been in touch with Ronaldo since the spring, and it was reported that Juventus tried to stop him from leaving but ultimately did not stand in his way. The club also wanted to recoup the EUR28m they had lost from his move to Real Madrid and begin the rebuilding process as soon as possible.
It is hard to understand how a striker like Cristiano Ronaldo would rule out a move to Juventus, given the fact that they are not a major club in the world. However, there are some striking similarities between the two clubs. The former has a rich family and a huge personal wealth, and he would probably be a very good fit for Juventus. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United striker would also have to leave Madrid in order to be close to the club’s headquarters.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked to Kylian Mbappe. However, Ronaldo’s entourage has started speaking to other clubs. While the two sides are yet to make an official approach, PSG have been lining up dominoes. With Mbappe in their sights, Cristiano Ronaldo is in a great position to play alongside the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Lionel Messi. However, the deal would also require the compliance of Financial Fair Play rules.
Endrick is a Brazilian under-sixteen international
At just fifteen years of age, Endrick is already making a name for himself in Brazilian soccer. He plays for Brazilian giants Palmeiras, where he has already won the Copa Libertadores. Apparently, he has impressed so many top players that he will soon receive a professional contract from a major club. The player has already impressed many and will soon turn 16 on July 21.
Despite his tender age, Endrick is already attracting attention from Premier League clubs, with Manchester City and Liverpool reportedly keeping an eye on him. Other clubs in Europe are also reportedly interested in signing Endrick. He shares an agent with Vinicius Junior, so Real Madrid are believed to be the frontrunners in the race for his signature. Ultimately, the player will decide on his future – and he is a good one.
Although Endrick has yet to play senior football for his country, his debut came last April, when he helped his country win the Montaigu Tournament in France. He was named player of the tournament and topped the scoring charts with five goals. He is currently training for the World Cup in Russia. But despite his youth and inexperience, Endrick is already a highly-regarded player in Brazil.
Real Madrid have been linked to Endrick since he first popped up on the scene. The club has been keen to sign Endrick, but it is difficult to know what he is really capable of, given the competition that he is only 15 years old. However, the club should be careful not to sign too many promising players before their signing date. The club should be aware of the fact that signing too many Brazilians is never a good idea.
Manchester United need a central attacker
It is widely acknowledged that Manchester United need a central attacking midfielder, but the problem is that they cannot afford to sign a top defensive midfielder like Nemanja Matic. The team needs someone who can play as a defensive midfielder and who has the technical and physical skills required for the Premier League. James Garner could be the answer. With his pace and technical ability, he would fit the bill.
One of the issues with the double pivot is Scott McTominay. His partnership with Fred is not good enough. The midfield is average and not serious enough to challenge for Premier League titles. United need a quality holding midfielder to replace McFred. Some fans would like to see a 4-3-3 formation, but the current team’s midfield is far too overloaded. There are more options for the team in attack.
Another option is Ajax midfielder Antony. The Argentine has already earned an international call-up with Portugal. United are currently in negotiations with Ajax officials in Amsterdam to close a deal. While a midfielder like Antony costs more than PS40 million, he would bring the qualities that United are looking for. He is a creative player with incredible vision. He could provide the balance that United are looking for.
A central midfielder would also be an option. With Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood constantly drifting towards the middle, United are forced to make them play in the middle. This would lead to a log-jam in the centre. A left footer would be ideal. But, since Sancho is best used operating in half spaces just north of the box, a left footer is needed. In a 4-3-3 formation, a left footer should be an ideal candidate.
