Yeah hopefully we'll maintain the momentum and ETH would be to United what Cruyff was to Barcelona.
Big ask but that's what we need.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Never really believed that this would happen but starting to believe. Sancho and Antony can be the next generation Salah / Mane or Robben / Ribery.
Ajax is half your first team too.
Martinez, Eriksen and soon Antony, not close
As in one player you mean
Eriksen, Martinez, Antz & Erik.
Eriksen spent more time at spurs than ajax.
Hopefully Erik won’t have to play in our first team.
So two players, maybe, at the moment one.
Come on, we have to count any former Ajax players in this. Plus possible signings so we have to include Frenkie and that would make 4, plus Erik. Still not half a team but if the maybes come to pass there is a definite Ajax flavour. A tasty one at that.

He is full of Shet(h)
Unlike the catalonian blonde cnut, this guy wants to be here and is going to give his all for United!
Let’s go! In Antony we trust!
Let’s go! In Antony we trust!
Yeah he's certainly keener, however like others have said he's not owed €17m in wages by his club
He's a prat but i'm happy with a positive tweet.
I’m also happy with that. Positive tweet = true. As far as I’m concerned.
That last part is what gives me hope for FDJ. If the £17m gets sorted he could still come here.
Meanwhile, let’s get this Antony fella in. As soon as fecking possible.
A wing option like Antony just gives us so much edge. Really hope we add either him or someone else of his ilk this window!
Still an Ajx product.
Agreed, Welbeck has spent more time away from us but he remains a United product
This is a lot of money... €100M ... it will be disastrous if he flops.
Yeah huge price tag to handle
Have no opinion of the player at all as I can't recall seeing him play but what will he bring that the likes of Rashford and Martial (when he's played more as a winger) wouldn't bring? That's not a negative question, i'm genuinely curious about what this guy will bring to the table.
Donny too? Poor guy, he is forgotten even in a conversation like this.
Dribbling, creativity, one vs one... Rasfhord is a more one dimensional player and Martial is not playing in the wing anymore on a regular basis.
Why should he flop? He will play together with his elder comrade from the national team (Casemiro) and will have all needed advice and guidance re: attitude, while talent he has.
Besides, players he will play together in attack and compete for minutes are not entirely dreadful ability-wise either (think Sancho, Martial, Rashford, maybe Gakpo as well) - so he will have to deliver to have many minutes.
Finally, with arrival of Casemiro (and hopefully upcoming arrival of FDJ) we will have much better midfield, which will transform into much more chances for attacking players to score and assist - Antony (and other forwards) will benefit from it big time.
Would be delighted if we secure him this week. Not only because I think he could be great for us, but it gives us the strength in depth we so badly need. Casemiro and Antony walk into our starting 11, strengthening our overall match day squad considerably. Just get it done!!! 
Upcoming as in January or next summer
News of a breakthrough tomorrow I reckon.
Gakpo to follow on Thursday / Friday.
FDJ at the eleventh hour on deadline day.

It will be disastrous if any RW we buy gonna flop. Having a great season,winning EL and getting top 4 vs repeating last one should be worth around 100 more in revenues alone plus we would attract much better players next transfer window.
So why not make It the most plausible he is not gonna flop and just trust EtH especially after yesterday perfprmances of players he insist on buying from that „poor” Eredivisie ?
Antony is not gonna be 100 mil pounds.
80 mil is 67 so 90-95 mil euro is around 75.
And then again we need someone, so its not like going 75 or zero its 75 or 50-60 mil if Gordon is going around 60 and Neto will be close to that if they sold Gibbs White without United tax to Forrest for 45.
So the question is if Antony is worth the risk for additional 15-20 mil vs other players.

Just give me the first and third one, remember we need a RB so don't see us getting Gakpo & Antony. Especially if by some miracle we make a late move for FDJ because don't have a bottomless pit
If we get FDJ and Antony i will be quite excited.
I don't think we'll be signing a right back. Could be wrong.
I’m excited by Antony. I don’t think he’s worth the fee being mentioned but I think he gives us something we don’t have and with Sancho and Rashford he would give us good rotation and variety in the wide positions.
Welbz has been here since he was a young boy ffs. Fletcher moss before that which is literally an extension of the club.
it's going to be a wild last week of the window with Antony bids possibly happening and seeing if Ajax can come into an agreement with Ziyech and Chelsea
I agree at this stage but it’s pretty poor that we haven’t strengthened there during the window. If you look at the value we got with Malacia then it’s disappointing our scouts couldn’t identity a similar talent at right-back that would represent a reasonably small outlay assuming we could find a buyer for Wan Bissaka.
I meant of his playing career
Yeah, agreed. If it was up to me, I'd have kept hold of Ethan Laird and allowed him the opportunity to challenge Dalot.
Yeah definitely gives us something different, how I wish we could afford him & De Jong but this is real life not Football Manager
