Manchester United target Antony misses first day of Ajax pre-season training amid transfer interest from Red Devils... as the Brazilian continues to push for a reunion with Erik ten Hag

Ajax star Antony has missed the first day of pre-season training with the Dutch champions amid transfer interest from Manchester United.

The Brazilian winger has emerged as one of the Red Devils' main transfer priorities this window, with new boss Erik ten Hag eager to bring his former player to Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old is keen to join Ten Hag and made his stance clear to Ajax after being absent from new manager Alfred Schreuder's training session on Friday.
