Antony at Man United simulated - the results were incredible under Ten Hag

Manchester United are targeting five transfers in this summer's transfer window, as Erik ten Hag prepares for his first season as the club's manager.

The Manchester Evening News understands that United are targeting a flexible forward this summer, ideally Ajax forward Antony, who played under Ten Hag last season. The 22-year-old scored eight goals and registered four assists in 21 league starts for the Dutch side last season, with the Brazilian's impressive performances from the right of attack drawing admirers from all over Europe.

It is also understood that despite Barcelona demanding around £85 million, United are making progress in transfer negotiations for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who also played under Ten Hag at Ajax before his move to Spain.

So, if Antony was to make the move to United in the summer, what sort of impact could he have at Old Trafford? Could the Brazilian winger help United win a trophy next season? We simulated the 2022/23 season with Antony in United's squad and this is what happened.

To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Antony to join United and Ten Hag to become United manager at the start of the 2022/23 season, using FM22 to run the simulation. This is what Antony's in-game profile looks like on FM22.

At just 22 years old, there is plenty of time for Antony to become one of the deadliest wingers in Europe. His profile highlights how well-rounded he is with great Dribbling (16), First Touch (16), Technique (16), Flair (16) and Agility (16).

The Brazilian excels in terms of his technical ability and tends to cut inside from the right-wing onto his left foot
