I think that quote is nonsense. I think they may accept a bid at this level, it would be us that is mad.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Unless EtH is willing to give Amad Diallo a chance on the right, I feel it would be extremely beneficial for the whole dynamic to have a RWF who is naturally left footed.
I honestly think if we add de Jong and Antony to the team, we'll be a very good team to watch in the new season.

Anthony should be joing us for free. He is still in Malacia`s pocket:
Glad we signed Malacia, he made Antony look like a joke there tbh. What even was that drama at the end?
Maybe we would be better off bringing in Dybala for RW for free this summer
Bye Ronaldo
Reliable?
Jesus. Won’t pretend I know a lot about him but that’s a lot of money given we could sign Gnabry for 35M.
Amazin...Oh its James Robson from Goal. 
We arent getting him
No, tier 4 and a gowl
Yep. £70m would be insanity.
If by some miracle we can get rid of Ronaldo and his gargantuan wages to some schmucks who don’t care about fecking up their systems and wage structures, and by a second miracle we can negotiate the Antony transfer in a competent manner this would be an amazing outcome.
There is no way we're paying £70M for a winger from the Eredivisie. That's just insane.
He isn't reliable.
Would need the likes of Whitwell, Verweij, Ducker etc to corroborate. It wouldn't surprise me if Robson is basing the news of a bid on what's emanating from Goal Brazil about a €60m offer. He works for the same outlet.
Hes just not very good... I'm honestly scratching my head with buying players from a 3rd Tier European League.
They all have Donny and Klasson written all over them

We shouldn't be signing him at all.

Ronaldo has nothing to do with Antony, he's a RW.
Only Dybala - of those linked - would be "replacing" Ronaldo.
Now this is a deal we should walk away from.
How have we messed up our wage structure due to Ronaldo? Whose contract has been inflated due to Ronaldo?
Wage inflation had been going on long before Ronaldo - see De Gea on £300K+.
Are you fans of Manchester United or accountants?
Ronaldo, with his marketing clout, is the only one at the club who actually earns his salary.
70m pounds is record sale money for Ajax. Seems crazy given some of the players they have sold
What is #10 for ajax doing at 2:30 of this video?
Well he reported that Ronaldo hadn't turned up for training today. Which is technically correct if you count that nobody did because Ten Hag gave the squad the day off.
So take from that what you will.
Sounds more like a feck off price. Also doubt that we randomly bid 51m without knowing it would be accepted.
Posters have been saying this since Alexis Sanchez. It makes so much sense in the storyline that ‘players are going to go to the board and demand more money’ that it stops even mattering whether it actually happens in real life or not.
Wayne Rooney blew our wage structure up, and triggered a domino effect
Their valuation is not realistic.
Usually behind the school bike shed with his wife
I think if we get Antony then I’d actually be happy going into the season without Ronaldo. Ten Hag has a system and that system means the front three will be constantly inter-changing.
Sancho Rashford Antony
Fernandes
We will score a bucket load of goals with the right coaching.
Eriksen, De Jong and Fred in the middle.
An improvement in our defending and we can be solid. This manager wants to keep the ball. I’m looking forward to seeing how he will implement this. He’s trying to buy technical players to do that.

60 million max feck them
He's already overpriced at 60m, another one where the club and Ten Hag need to look elsewhere.
This is pretty much the maximum we should be bidding for him. I think its mad money to go much higher.
Is he even an international? Ajax are generally a very fair club to deal with but their valuation is far too high. Which likely means they simply don't want to sell this summer, probably get him for half the price next year when another player comes through there.
Why oh why aren't we going for Serge Gnabbers
?
There were multiple stories that United would go for Antony only if Ronaldo was fecking off. Dybala can feck off also.
I agree, I think that looks really fluid. I also think Martinez would be used as the midfield anchor for Eriksen and FdJ. Think Varane would excel with someone like him ahead of him, and would also elevate Maguire/Lindelof.
I think the below would mean we've had an incredible summer all things considered:
DDG
AWB
Varane
Maguire
Shaw
Martinez
FdJ
Eriksen
Antony
Bruno
Rashford
GK, Lindelof, Malacia, Fred, McTominay, Garner, Sancho, Martial, Elanga
At least this lad actively wants to join
Can't see him swapping Bayern for us right now without us paying daft wages.
Let him pull a Ronaldo if he wants to come.
