The agent of Ajax winger Antony has left a social media message which all but confirms that the player will compete a move to Manchester United on Monday.
Multiple reports on Sunday suggested that United had finally agreed a €95m + €5m add-on deal for the 22-year-old Brazilian, who hasn't featured in Ajax's last two matches.
And agent Junior Pedroso left a pretty straightforward message on his Instagram account saying simply 'here we go!', with an emoji of a aeroplane.

If the move is completed on Monday it will take United's spending this summer to over €200m, with around €167m of that going directly to Ajax for the Antony deal, as well as defender Lisandro Martinez.
Antony will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford with an option for an additional year, and he will become United's second most expensive signing ever after the deal for Paul Pogba from Juventus.

The deal is also the all-time record for a player from the Eredivisie.
After weeks of negotiations, in which Ajax have stood firm and claimed that it would take a massive fee to force them to sell, it would appear that the Dutch champions have their way, and a huge bank balance to boot.
