MANCHESTER UNITED target Antony has demanded to leave Ajax in a stunning interview.

Antony insists he wants Ajax to receive the highest offer for him, in what would be a record sale for a Dutch club. "I've been insisting on this term since February so that the club could rebuild the team with peace of mind and right timing." "I made it clear once again I want to leave the club. The transfer expert relayed what Antony said to him in a And during the window months, meetings concluded including a proposal from Ajax for a contract renewal.

Manchester United earned the first away victory of the season by defeating Southampton 1-0 in the Premier League's early Saturday game.

Back to Back wins… Prior to the match, the Saints had rescued four points from losing positions in their previous two outings and were looking to repeat a turnaround. Armstrong 63), A. United stormed out of the blocks after the interval, heaping early pressure on the home side and were rewarded 10 minutes following the restart. However, the best opportunity fell to Armel Bella-Kotchap. A Diogo Dalot cross caused mayhem in the penalty area as the Southampton keeper Gavin Bazunu and his defence somehow frantically denied Bruno Fernandes the chance to head home, before thwarting Anthony Elanga, Fernandes again and then Christian Eriksen – all from around the six-yard box.

Scott McTominay’s drive tested Bazunu early in the second half, while Bella-Kotchap made a superb tackle to stop Elanga as he prepared to shoot after bursting through on goal. Bella-Kotchap should have made United pay for those misses when a corner fell to the Saints defender, but he somehow contrived to shoot high into the stands from close-range. Fernandes netted with a composed strike early in the second half and the Portugal midfielder’s first goal this season lifted United into sixth place ahead of the rest of the weekend’s matches.

Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo is edging closer to returning to his boyhood club, Sporting CP, according to Marca. Ronaldo had preferred to.

Instead, however, he joined United, where the team has underperformed and missed out on the Champions League this season. Sporting may not be able to compete financially with other offers, but their relationship with Ronaldo could be enough to persuade him to finish his career where it began. The 37-year-old has decided that his best option is to return to the Portuguese side.

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has left Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire out of his starting XI to face Southampton in Saturday's early.

That means Anthony Elanga, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford lead the attack at St Mary’s Stadium. The Dutchman had dropped Ronaldo and Maguire for the 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday.

He’s not sulking on the pitch anymore and that’s a huge step forward. He’s quickly becoming a captain-like figure in the team and you must wonder whether that’s a decision Ten Hag is considering.

Bruno Fernandes fired Manchester United to a second straight Premier League win as they beat Southampton 1-0 on Saturday.

The Red Devils were able to hold out for the three points in a narrow victory. Red Devils fans will be eager to see him involved from the start in their next game. Fernandes rounded off a fine United move to give his side the lead in the second half of the clash at Southampton.

MANCHESTER UNITED are refusing to give up on Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong, with the transfer saga flatly refusing to end.

I see him more as an inside player although he can adapt to the pivot position. But it appears he’s still likelier to stay at the Nou Camp instead of moving to Old Trafford. In recent hours, it’s emerged De Jong has started to re-negotiate his salary with Barcelona. So, good is not good enough, always go for better.” “When he is facing the game, he is a spectacular footballer and you have to try to turn him around, to divide, who does it very well because he has a lot of power, he's physically strong and he has last passes.

Manchester United enjoy back-to-back wins for first time under Erik ten Hag thanks to Bruno Fernandes' second-half strike at St Mary's.

Continued his aggressive approach and looks set for a run in the team after being named man of the match 8 He’s very good at holding the ball up and getting on the end of crosses. Adam Armstrong: A number of eye-catching dribbles to move away from pressure and carry ball forward. He’s a top player but they still need more. Casemiro is not going to change that fact. You get to 37 years of age, you’re not going to go sprinting away from people. Che Adams: Given a start after his match-winning double from the bench against Leicester. Won a free-kick after a cheeky nutmeg on McTominay and showed some nice turns away from pressure 7 James Ward-Prowse: Like watching a game of chess as he battled the similarly silky Eriksen. The ploy worked to perfection in the 55th minute. Tyrell Malacia: Tenacious presence at left-back despite majority of Southampton coming down his side. Despite the breakthrough, Southampton did not give in.

Manchester United headed south in buoyant mood following Monday night's morale-boosting victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Ten Hag named the same side ...

Three days later, Erik ten Hag's side welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports from 4pm (kick-off 4.30pm). The Argentine won five out of five aerial duels against Southampton and had a 100 per cent ground success. All of a sudden there's competition for places again - a positive selection headache to have. Much has been made of Martinez's height at 5ft 9in, but the stats suggest there has been a fuss about nothing. A first clean sheet of the season will have delighted Ten Hag. Three points against rivals Liverpool on Monday night and the £70m arrival of Brazil midfielder Casemiro meant they travelled to Southampton on Saturday lunchtime full of hope and optimism. Harry Maguire started on the bench again after being dropped against Liverpool, with the United boss warning pre-match that the England defender will not play just because he is the captain of the club. United were probing and their pressure was rewarded in the 55th minute. Ten Hag's side controlled possession for large periods but Southampton continued to look dangerous on the break. A hard-fought win at St Mary's showed they are capable of producing it. Elanga then thought he was in on a goal minutes later after a quick one-two with Fernandes, but Bella-Kotchap made a superb last-ditch tackle to deny him. Scott McTominay's effort was routinely saved by Buzunu at the near post, before Varane headed over the bar from the resulting corner.

Captain Harry Maguire will be made to work for his place in the Manchester United XI as just "one of...

He's made a great start and I can't see why it won't continue." "Ian had that enthusiasm of wanting to score goals, and he scores goals similar to the ones we've seen from Jesus. You can now see that in games."

It is the start of the season, it is tough. I still feel there is room for improvement, to control more, but we are not that far away.” Of course we were really happy,” Ten Hag said. We can improve that is clear. “At the start of the game we could have created more but I was satisfied. Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United have learned the lessons of their dismal start to the season as Bruno Fernandes clinched a hard-fought 1-0 win at Southampton on Saturday.

Ten Hag will hope to have his business completed by then - and also put an end to the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo.

WHAT HAPPENED: Bruno Fernandes struck at St Mary's to give United a second straight win this week, which goes a long way to lifting the clouds hanging over the club.

Manchester United boss Erikten Hag has warned Harry Maguire that his place in the starting lineup is not a guarantee despite being the club captain.

WHAT HE SAID: Speaking to reporters ahead of Manchester United's clash against Southampton, Ten Hag said, "It doesn’t mean when you are captain, you are established to play always, especially when you also have Varane in your squad. Varane's stature is immense and in pre-season, we took a decision to build him physically, so he had a bit of a slow start." Harry Maguire was left on the bench by the Manchester United manager in their last Premier League game against Liverpool where they registered their first win of the season.

Dalot’s pinpoint assist proved to be match-winning for United at a key point of the game. Perhaps most impressively of all, he audibly dictated when his teammates needed to tighten up through the centre. United’s new signing only entered the pitch with 10 minutes to go, and he was absolutely everywhere! Saints couldn’t deal with the sheer numbers in the box as Fernandes was left wide open on the edge for his magic moment. The Portuguese right-back stayed composed, recovered possession and offered a physical presence throughout. The 23-year-old’s crunching tackle down the wing gave him an early boost of confidence and he never looked back. Another Elanga run inside set the goal in motion by freeing up space for Dalot, Sancho and Bruno in one fell swoop. Bruno’s ability to link passing moves together brought the likes of Sancho and Marcus Rashford into the game when they would have otherwise been completely isolated. There was a 15-minute spell just after half-time where our manager’s intelligence changed the course of the game. His calmness on the ball and ability to pick a simple pass also aided us in some tight positions as Southampton overloaded the flanks. He also showed real desire to bomb forward and aid the attack. Fernandes’s lethal winner sealed the win, in what was his second consecutive match wearing the captain's armband.

Osimhen would be a logical option to replace Ronaldo quickly if he leaves for Napoli. For now, though, it appears to be somewhat of a non-starter. And he is pushing for United to allow him to depart if a suitable offer arrives, whether Osimhen is involved in a deal or not. And Erik ten Hag is reportedly happy for him to walk out the exit door if he can make two attacking signings in the final five days of the summer transfer window. With United chasing Ajax's Antony, most recently seeing a £76m bid rejected, an £85m plus move for Osimhen wouldn't be financially viable. [Reports in Italy](/sport/football/1660572/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Jorge-Mendes-Victor-Osimhen-swap-deal-Cristiano-Ronaldo-Napoli) claim Napoli would be open to sending the 23-year-old to United, with Ronaldo coming the other way on loan, if they receive £85million or more.

“We have to carry on for the rest of the season. “We said it today before the game. That’s what it’s about to play for Manchester United.” “An amazing cross from Diogo,” said Fernandes. Buoyed by the incisive runs of Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho, who began to cut inside to create space for others, the Reds ripped through the Saints' defence with a fantastic passing move that ended with Bruno firing into the back of the net. The hosts were well-drilled and compact, giving United little room to breathe on a less-than-perfect pitch.

Manchester United boss Erikten Hag has warned Harry Maguire that his place in the starting lineup is not a guarantee despite being the club captain.

The Brazilian forward is desperate to be reunited with Ten Hag in Manchester, but for now the Dutch club are playing hard ball. El Ghazi is a distinct possibility, having started his career with the club in Amsterdam. Erik ten Hag will be feeling better about his squad following two wins and the addition of Casemiro.

Man United are inching ever-close to a whopping £85million deal for Ajax star Antony, a transfer that could create a £164m domino effect for Chelsea.

With Manchester United closing in on Antony and linked to Memphis Depay, their attack could look much improved…

Ten Hag experimented with a false nine setup in the absence of Martial in United’s defeat to Brighton. Ten Hag hasn’t resorted to a front two with wingers just yet, but the season is long and pragmatism sometimes prevails. With Martial’s fitness already proving a concern and Ronaldo’s future in the air, signing Antony and Depay gives United a wealth of options in attack. The Dutchman has become much more well rounded since leaving United and played some of his best football at Lyon in a more central role. The Portuguese international has an eye for goal and needs the licence to stay forward, press and play killer balls. Signing Depay would solve that and give United a similar profile of player to rely upon during a long season. The Dutch forward failed to live up to his potential at United from 2014 to 2017, but has since rebuilt his career and is available for a transfer this summer. In our first configuration, Depay would have to make an impact from the bench. Dropping in and allowing Depay and Antony the room to finish the job in attack could – with time – prove effective. Above all, signing two exciting attackers like Depay and Antony gives Ten Hag the ability to play more of a front three, especially in possession, and take the game to opponents more consistently. Martial has completely revived his United career under the Dutchman, Sancho has began to show more consistent glimpses of his talent as a left-winger and Antony would do a similar job from the right as an inverted winger. The Ajax winger has been linked with a move to United ever since Erik ten Hag was announced as the club’s new manager at the back end of last season, and his interest in reuniting with Antony was clear early on in the summer.

CRISTIANO RONALDO could leave Manchester United before the summer transfer window slams shut on Thursday.

[Cristiano Ronaldo](/latest/cristiano-ronaldo) was furious when [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) players were told achieving a top-four finish for the season was the Glazers’ target, according to reports. Undoubtedly, for us, he's very important." The Portugal international has spent most of the summer transfer window hoping for a move away. "I hope he stays with us, because he is a great player, one of the best of all time. "I hope he stays, because he is a player who gives you leadership, gives you a lot of goals, is a winner and is very important to us. "The illusion of being able to play with him again...he knows the respect I have for him. But Ronaldo is unhappy with the state of United’s squad and that is one of the reasons why he’s seeking a new challenge elsewhere. With the Glazers content with just Champions League qualification, Ronaldo decided he ‘did not want to suffer a season of Europa League football under executives who’d told the squad that their target for the 2022-23 Premier League campaign was a fourth-place finish’. The veteran feels United sold him a ‘story’ of winning the Premier League title together, and that him returning to Old Trafford instead of leaving for Manchester City would help the squad achieve their aim. Ronaldo seems to have different ambitions and is believed to be unhappy at the lack of winners within United’s squad. Ronaldo informed United back in June that he wants out, with the veteran eager to play at the highest level as he approaches the final years of his career. However, his goals weren’t enough to propel the Red Devils into the Champions League - with the club qualifying for the Europa League with a sixth-placed finish instead.
