Hahahaha ofcourse not mate. He's not leaving, trust me. He's happy in Amsterdam and wants to play at a stable club with the world cup coming up. No offense but Manchester united is a nightmare at the moment, why on earth would he go when Man Utd isn't even playing champions league and failing in the EPL? I'm a united lover also don't get me wrong but he won't leave. Only for 100 million maybe, 80/90 won't be enough. That's just facts and you know it.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

We need him to kick up a stink, if he doesn't feck him the diving bastard.
It makes a huge difference. For once, Ajax would need to find a quick replacement and time is ticking. Second, we're very desperate and clubs know that. Regardless of what player we go for now, we'll get fleeced. This is what happens when you have incompetent clowns in charge that leave things to be done at the last minute.
Of course our initial offers are going to get rejected. We’re fecking desperate! Haha
There were Strong rumours they would have taken that a month ago and we were put off
We are Manchester United
If Ajax rejected €80m a month or so ago? It probably would’ve massively disillusioned Antony too. They can justify it so late in the window — “you’ll get your move next season, they came in too late etc” but it would be hard to stop him throwing bit strops if this bid came in a full month or so ago.
get the f out with 80 mil EUR bid for practically nobody. The EPL world is gone mad. If scouts would do at least half decent job they are supposed to do we would have few ready made players in academy.
World's gone mad
Why didn't we just make this offer at the beginning of the window when it actually had a good chance of being accepted?
We're so incompetent.
Do you think we'll improve on this bid or increase the upfront payment on €80m to say 70m then the other 10 in possible add-ons?
€80m rejected? Absolutely mental.
PR bid.
Garnacho is already a good player but he can't make the step to the next level unless he gets first team experience in a good setup.
We also had Greenwood. With his ability he could have become one of the best but that seems to be a thing with our top talents. They find ways to feck things up. Still very sour about what happened with Ravel and that happened a long time ago.
Yea i was thinking this too, wonder who is briefing this?
Also rushing Casemiro to relieve a bit of pressure.
Just goes to show how quickly we can do deals if necessary...
Well, the bids we made earlier were presumably not for 80m, and we have inexplicably given them 65m for Martinez meaning they don't really need to sell any more players.
Unless you think we offered 80m earlier in the summer, and then came back this week and offered the same amount.
If we'd have made this offer on day 1 of the transfer window opening let's be honest he'd most likely be a United player. And if they didn't accept, we could have moved on much sooner. Yet again we've had a lack of foresight.
Seems likely yeah.
Even a DM would have been more prudent.
He’s not worth €80m. Happy they rejected that. Move on, we’ve avoided a costly mistake.
You were saying?
Always funny to read this. So you get him after he rebels at Ajax. Then in a year or two City or PSG offers him twice his salary and he does the same to United.
" Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Be careful what you wish for.
Most certainly. The latter part I do not necessarily agree with though. Just look at how they keep chasing Frenkie who doesn't seem to want/be able to leave.
To lower the price/increase the package without spending more maybe a youth player could be included (at Ajax they'd have a much better chance of first team football) with a big buy-back clause. I'd say a United squad player, but I can't think of anyone that would fill a weak spot in the current Ajax squad ... And no, Ajax has plenty of good midfielders, so Donny isn't an option.

Glad it was rejected. Nowhere near worth that amount.
I think we will but not by much. If its him ten Hag wants then we've got to try our utmost to back the manager. The alternatives will obviously be cheaper but ten Hag will have to coach them into his line of thinking, we wouldn't have that problem with Antony.
Yeah we could do with a Brucey Bonus couldn't we.
Why would a higher transfer fee affect his decision at all?
Tbf it makes no sense for him to join a club in current turmoil when he's fighting for a World cup place, a solid half season at Ajax where he's settled is best for his WC ambitions. I can see United going back in January and getting him cheaper, possibly next summer. Seems a transfer that will happen, it's just a matter of when.
Can see him going Bayern / PSG or even City.
He definitely has the look of a psg player
That bid is absolute madness.
CONFIRMATION: Sources within #Ajax report that an offer of 80 million euros from #MUFC for #Antony has been rejected today. Will the offer be raised again and will Ajax be saddled with a complicated sporting and economic issue?
not for sale for 80
He’s gonna be pissed if Casimero joins I’d imagine. Could start kicking up a fuss for rejecting such a silly amount.
They can get fecked tbh
They won't ever get 80m for him again I'm certain
They won't ever get 80m for him again I'm certain
Maybe they don't care and they'd prefer to keep at least a few good players in their team
feck the cnuts, they'll sell him to city next summer for 50 million quid with zero fuss.
You seem to have serious issues, i'd go to the doctor if i were you
If he really wants to come, he can push it on his end otherwise move on
Issues with your club ripping us off.
Whaaaaat? Cant believe that.
Thought Edwin would be pragmatic.
