Manchester United CONFIRM the £85.5m signing of Antony from Ajax on a five-year contract as Erik ten Hag finally lands the Brazilian winger following weeks of haggling over a fee

Manchester United have competed the £85.5million signing of Brazilian winger Antony from Ajax.

The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford - with the option of another year - after a breakthrough in the protracted negotiations between United and Ajax was made over the weekend.

United offered £81.3m as a fixed amount with £4.2m in add-ons, which includes a solidarity payment to Antony's previous club Sao Paulo.
