Manchester United has completed the transfer of Antony Matheus dos Santos from Ajax. He has signed a £85.4 million contract until 2027 with the option of an additional year.
“This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world. I’m thankful to everyone who has believed in me, especially my family, and all my coaches and team-mates, because I could not have got here without them.” said Antony.
The Brazil international relished his time at Ajax with Erik ten Hag and the plans the Dutch tactician has for him at United: “Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. His style of football and coaching brings out the best in me, and I am excited by what he has told me about his plans and ambitions in Manchester.
