Fans of the club inundated Ajax winger Antony with tweets, appealing to him to join Manchester United when he was photographed with his agent in France on Thursday. This season, the Brazilian has been in excellent form for the Dutch giants, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists to secure another Eredivisie title for Ajax. His performances have sparked speculation that he could be a target for his departing boss, with Erik ten Hag poised to join United at the conclusion of the season.
United will be seeking new attackers this summer, according to interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who believes the club needs at least two more quality signings in attack. With several of Ten Hag’s former and current players linked with a move to Old Trafford, Antony might be one of those of interest. On Thursday, the 22-year-old was photographed arriving in France on an aircraft with his agent, Emerson Santos. Antony’s spokesperson shared a photo of the two of them on a plane in Nantes, a Paris suburb.
“Side by side if you wish to support you if you lose!” Emerson captioned the post. Antony added: “Always together, I love you brother.”
Never missing an opportunity, United fans were quick to pile on the post, sending replies urging Antony to join Ten Hag at Old Trafford this summer. The winger was greeted with messages like ‘come to Manchester United,’ ‘Manchester United here we go,’ and ‘welcome to Manchester United.’

With the Brazilian photographed in Paris, Paris Saint-Germain fans, as well as Bayern Munich and Barcelona supporters, became involved.
Ten Hag recently suggested he could be in the market for some of his Ajax stars this summer and hinted there is nothing stopping him from signing Antony. “There is no agreement in place that would exclude me from taking players to Man Utd,” he recently told WeTalkAjax. “Which Ajax players are interesting? I have very good players here.
