Manchester United have confirmed they've reached an agreement to sign Antony from Ajax in a transfer worth up £85 million ($99m).

Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. He has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford, reuniting with ex-Ajax boss Erik ten Hag. A long-running recruitment saga has finally come to a close, with the 22-year-old having been identified by the Red Devils as a top target early in the summer window.

Antony name-dropped former Manchester United winger Nani as an example of a ...

I hope to provide continuity here, we have to respect the weight and tradition of the shirt." There are a lot of players though these two stand out for me." There are a lot of other players," he continued.

MANCHESTER UNITED take on Leicester in the Premier League on Thursday night.

And the ace bagged 18 goals in his maiden campaign back at Old Trafford. And he appears to now be planning for life without Ronaldo, with the veteran having just one more year remaining on his current United contract. And he was unable to find the back of the net or provide any assists in that time. Ronaldo has only started one match this campaign, with his apparent desire to leave and lack of match fitness seemingly getting in the way of a regular place in Erik ten Hag’s line-up. The 37-year-old then returned to pre-season training late and missed his side’s summer tour as he pushed for a move away amid links with the likes of Chelsea, Napoli, Sporting Lisbon, Marseille and AC Milan. The Red Devils signed Ronaldo for a second time last August as he returned to the Premier League following nine years with Real Madrid and three years with Juventus.

Jadon Sancho lifted Man United past Leicester City and the Red Devils look more confident than they have in a while. But attacking concerns persist.

Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still -- we need not only a team we need a squad." Manager United manager Erik Ten Hag on the win: "It is another step forward so I am happy with that. Replacing him will be impossible, but Leicester need to find a younger striker with the ability to score as regularly as Vardy used to.

Here is ESPN's Mark Ogden with reaction and analysis:

Great play between Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford resulted in the ball being threaded through to Sancho and the England international rounded ...

Maddison's curling 25-yard free-kick was tipped away by De Gea to prevent it from nestling in the top corner. Despite a relatively even opening 10 minutes, it was United who quickly put our stamp on the game. Our forward line continued to pick up great positions between the lines and Rashford played in Sancho once again but his effort was well blocked by James Justin, while Harvey Barnes whipped a shot just over the bar. A couple of touches between Dalot, Fernandes and Rashford were all that was required for Sancho to find himself in space and slot home with complete composure, for his second goal of the season. It was a confident and self-assured first-half from the Reds, but Leicester quickly grew into the game, rousing their home fans. David De Gea saved well from James Maddison's free-kick after the break, but United had the better opportunities to double our lead and were comfortable in closing out the win, which takes us up to fifth in the top-flight table.

Casemiro showed his class when he came on for Man United vs Leicester. His highlights have from the match have emerged.

“He has to get used to a different league. Once Casemiro is up to speed, he has the ability to dominate the Premier League. He has achieved everything possible and now has to adapt to his new team-mates,” Casemiro was a commanding presence in the middle of midfield as he shielded the defence effectively and also displayed some impressive passing. And the 31-year-old was solid during his time on the pitch. He was given a longer chance to impress by Erik ten Hag as he replaced Anthony Elanga in the 59th minute.

To bring more quality and that is what we have to work for now: me, together with my coaches and of course togetherness with the team. “I know we have been talking to the lad, until I am told otherwise he is still a Manchester United player. But Birmingham Live now report that West Brom are pulling back from a move for him, with Blues still at the 'front of the queue'. There has been a fight between Birmingham City and the Baggies for him. "He is a very, very good midfield holding player and he is very successful. “I feel like I can bring real energy to the team - it is something that Everton definitely demands and I can add that in abundance.

Instead, it is three wins in a row and three games in which his players have been committed to the cause. I have to do the very best with the resources I have. That will please Ten Hag - the fact that it is easy to envisage Antony and Casemiro, brought on here, being slotted into this side now. Scott McTominay provided that in midfield, a dominant presence for the 45 minutes, and ahead of him there are promising signs too. Immediately, he was up and slapping the chest of the Manchester United centre-backs. I would have loved to have added five, six players to add to the quality of the group but if you can't do it I respect that. "Maybe it's too quick to say [we have turned a corner], we're happy with it, we're building a team and a squad who are sticking together, fighting for each other, they co-operate and if you do that, you get the right results. On whether new signing Antony will be involved this weekend, Ten Hag said: "We have to see [if he'll be in the squad]. "I think it's clear to see [that the squad is weaker than last year]. Players want to compete; this group has shown they can compete but we needed help and unfortunately we haven't been able to get that. "Maybe it's too quick to say [we have turned a corner]," he said.

ERLING HAALAND has lit up the Premier League since joining Manchester City this summer.

The now 22-year-old went on to bag an incredible 86 goals and 23 assists in 89 games for Dortmund as he developed into one of the best strikers in the world. Haaland has started his City career in emphatic fashion and notched his second consecutive hat-trick on Wednesday night as the Citizens put Nottingham Forest to the sword. Haaland’s representatives wanted to secure a share from future sales of the player as part of a transfer deal. By the time Haaland had played his last game for the Austrian club, he had accumulated a staggering 29 goals in 27 appearances. And their failure to get their hands on the blockbuster Norway striker could be their greatest transfer mistake ever. Haaland came through the ranks at Bryne in his homeland before joining Molde in 2017.

Despite playing again at the weekend against league leaders Arsenal, which could lead to squad rotations, ten Hag is focused solely on this game: "First game is ...

"The process has to be good, so good organisation, you're talking about possession, you need [to be] dynamic, you need some intensity." "We have a lot of games to cover so other players will come in." "You want to get in routines, they did well [the starting 11] so we keep going," explained the boss ahead of kick-off.

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of winger Antony from Ajax, it was announced on Thursday.

He has made nine appearances for Brazil, scoring twice, and helped his country to an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo last year. Antony added: "Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. I'm thankful to everyone who has believed in me, especially my family, and all my coaches and team-mates, because I could not have got here without them."

Manchester United summer signings Antony and Casemiro could be included from the start when the Red Devils play host to Arsenal on Sunday.

But after being backed in the market with the signings of Antony and Casemiro, in particular, he will be expected to stamp his impression on the club going forward. Arsenal could be the first time the Dutchman gets to play all of his outfield signings at once this season. The Brazil forward has been given clearance to play - but Ten Hag will assess his fitness, along with [fellow countryman Casemiro](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kleberson-fred-eight-brazilians-man-utd-antony-transfer-talk/bltde128cbe042a84fb), before making any selection decisions.

And when there were moments of anxiety, the experienced £70m new boy Casemiro came on to steady the ship. After that, United were able to do a containing job on a toothless Leicester side lacking in confidence and urgency and occasionally suffering the discontent of the increasingly impatient Foxes fans. Manchester United’s performance was reminiscent of their victory at Southampton on Saturday – solid, unspectacular but highly efficient and enough to give them a third straight win in all competitions for the first time since April 2021, sending them up to fifth in the Premier League table.
