The Brazil international has been one of United’s top targets for the summer transfer window but Ajax are standing firm over their €100 million (£84.8m) valuation.

Last week, Antony refused to train with the Dutch club and sat out their 1-0 victory against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday as he attempts to force through a move to United.

And it appears Antony is keeping a close eye on United’s progress under Erik ten Hag as he posed for a photo alongside his brother whilst watching the game against Liverpool.

Emerson Santos, who also acts as Antony’s finance and career manager, included a red devil emoji as he snapped a live shot of United’s game on his television.

It’s understood that Antony is intent on joining United before the end of the window, while De Telegraph reports that Ajax are unhappy with Ten Hag’s decision to push for a move so late in the transfer window.

Speaking at the weekend, Ajax’s head coach Alfred Schreuder said that he expects Antony to remain at Ajax.

‘I just want Antony to stay, so I assume he will not be sold,’ Schreuder told ESPN.

‘The money in question is absurd, but we’ve already sold five or six core players. I don’t think it’s right if we sell another player.’

Asked if Ajax are in a position to refuse a large offer from United, Schreuder said: ‘I cannot judge that, the club has to judge that.

‘But I think we’re very strong financially.’
