Manchester United took the cost of its recent rebuild to nearly $240 million by completing the signing of Brazil winger Antony from Ajax on Thursday, the final day of the transfer window.
The 22-year-old Antony became United's second most expensive signing — after Paul Pogba in 2016 — at $95 million and is the latest player to arrive at Old Trafford from the Dutch league.
“This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world,” Antony said of United, a record 20-time English champion which hasn't won the Premier League since 2013. United will pay Ajax a further 5 million euros in potential add-ons for Antony, who complained last week in an interview with Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano that the Dutch champions were not allowing him to leave.
