Ajax attacker Antony is reportedly keen to follow Erik ten Hag to Manchester United this summer.

Ten Hag was confirmed as Man United's new head coach on Thursday, with the Dutchman set to begin work with the 20-time English champions at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

Antony has thrived under Ten Hag's leadership, and the Brazil international is believed to have been identified by the Red Devils as a leading transfer target in the upcoming market.

According to De Telegraaf, the 22-year-old 'wants to take the next step in his career' and is open to the idea of joining his current head coach at Old Trafford this summer.

Antony has been in impressive form for his Dutch club during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 12 times and contributing 10 assists in 33 appearances in all competitions.

The South American still has more than three years left to run on his contract in Amsterdam, but the Dutch giants are unlikely to reject a high offer for him during this summer's transfer window.

Antony has primarily played as a right-sided forward for Ajax this season, which is an area of the field that Man United have struggled to fill over the last few years.
