Alfred Schreuder has pointedly referenced the fact that his Ajax side play in the Champions League while Manchester United do not in relation to the ongoing saga surrounding the future of Antony.
United, led by Antony's former boss at Ajax Erik ten Hag, have identified the Brazilian as a key target to bolster their options after an abysmal start to the league campaign.
The Brazilian wishes to join the club.
The club saw a bid worth close to £70m rejected by the Dutch side last week with Ajax believed to be holding out for closer to their valuation of £84m.
