JAKARTA - Manchester United will soon bring in new players in the Erik ten Hag era to navigate the 2022/2023 season. Reportedly, Ajax Amsterdam player Antony became the first signing of the English Premier League club.

Antony was a mainstay of Ajax Amsterdam when he was coached by Ten Hag. When Ten Hag moved to Manchester United, he had intended to bring the 22-year-old player. The negotiation process to bring Antony to Old Trafford reportedly went smoothly. Representatives of the Red Devils have flown to the Netherlands to complete the final stages of Antony's move.

"The Red Devils are prepared to pay £40 million to make the Brazilian the first signing of the Ten Hag era", the report quoted the Mirror as saying.

While in Ajax uniform, Antony has appeared in 33 matches in various events. During that period he also recorded 12 goals and contributed 10 assists.

This player is considered capable of moving and maneuvering in the right-wing area, where this position has often been a problem for MU. That's what made Ten Hag not want to waste the opportunity and immediately went to his former team to boost MU's performance.

"Ten Hag has been tasked with overhauling his squad, to challenge for the title and reach higher positions in the Premier League", added the report from the Mirror.

When they were both at Ajax, Antony and Ten Hag had a good relationship. The winger even wished the best when Ten Hag officially became Manchester United manager.

Not only that, but Antony also did not hesitate to express his gratitude for the opportunities and lessons he got. At that time, he said he didn't hesitate to offer himself if Ten Hag needed him.

"Know, I will always support you, if you need me", said Antony some time ago.
