Antony was reported to be an early priority for Erik ten Hag to sign from Ajax, The Telegraph reported earlier this year.
He has been a key player for Ajax for the last 18 months after joining from Sao Paulo, and the Brazilian club will be entitled to part of the fee.
The Brazilian is part of his national team that is expected to go to the World Cup later this year. With his agents wanting to try to secure a deal, it shows that the player’s intention is to move on to a new challenge.
Antony has played a role in two Ajax titles under Ten Hag, and the proposed fee for a transfer is 60 million euros, just over 50 million pounds.
United are also looking at a switch for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, with Marca reporting last night that an offer has been made, which Barcelona are carefully assessing.
