The Premier League giants are expecting to sign three more players in the coming days to take their number of summer signings to four.
Manchester United are reportedly expected to get a deal done for Ajax defender Martinez today and Christian Eriksen is expected to undergo a medical with the club soon.
The Red Devils have an agreement in place for a fee of €75m with Barcelona for De Jong but will look to resolve the issue of the Dutchman’s deferred payments in the coming days.
According to Spanish sports daily Marca, the club will look to revive negotiations for Ajax attacker Antony once the three deals are in place.
The Brazilian is wanted at Old Trafford, where Erik ten Hag wants to reunite with him as part of his transfer plans.
Antony is also keen on the move and has asked Ajax to negotiate with Manchester United but their €80m asking price is a major stumbling block.
The Red Devils do not want to pay such a figure for the player but are likely to start talks again with Ajax.
Ten Hag wants to add a forward to his squad this summer amidst the uncertainty around Cristiano Ronaldo’s future.
