'We're crying out for' - Goldbridge buzzing after big Man United transfer development

Goldbridge has been speaking on The United Stand YouTube channel discussing United’s reported transfer targets.

Back in April Marca relayed a report from The Times shortly after Erik ten Hag was announced as the Reds boss and it stated that the 52-year-old had already held a meeting with the Old Trafford executives with Antony named as a possible target.

The 22-year-old was brought to Ajax by ten Hag from his native Brazil at Sao Paulo back in 2020 and has gone on to be involved in 42 goals in 79 appearances in Amsterdam. 

Man United are reportedly in talks with Antony’s agent, which is something that has excited Goldbridge.

(4:35)” We’re crying out for a right-winger who’s left-footed and Antony fits that bill. If this deal can be done for €60m, what’s not to like. I would like this deal to happen.”

Goal Brasil (via The United Stand on Twitter) said it would take just over £51m to sign the flashy winger who gives left-backs a ‘sleepless night’ according to Dutch journalist Johan Derksen.

With five players already confirmed to be heading out the door including Paul Pogba and with that figure possibly rising to 12, there will be plenty of room on the wage bill and indeed the squad for ten Hag to make his mark and by bringing in a player he knows so well could be very good business for the Red Devils.
