Manchester United are not giving up on Antony. Ajax turned down new bid but Man Utd plan to try again - they feel Antony really wants the move. #MUFC
Been told it’s not sure that Antony starts on Sunday yet, still discussed internally.

Have a feeling that things really didn’t land well within ‘camp Antony’ when Ajax decided to refuse the offer. And that’s still an understatement. Not to be seen in any of the training pics/video’s too today.

Toujours à la recherche d’un élément dans le secteur offensif, Nice a approché l’international ivoirien de 20 ans Amad Diallo. MU privilégierait un prêt sans option d’achat alors que les Aiglons aimeraient l’attirer définitivement. @FabriceHawkins
Nice are interested in Diallo, we'd like a loan without an option, but looks like they want him permanently.
