Erik ten Hag is searching for an attacking reinforcement ahead of the transfer window shutting in four days' time, but he may have to deal with a potential exit of a current striker.
Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford remains unclear. The forward handed in a transfer request earlier in the summer although Ten Hag has reiterated the Portugal hero remains part of his plans, insisting the player has not told him he wants to leave.
Nevertheless, it will be the main topic of conversation for the remainder of the window. Secondary to that will be United's chase of Antony.
After reports that another bid from the Reds was rejected, the Ajax star hit out at his club for not allowing him to leave. He is pushing for an exit and is not currently training with the first team.
Ajax head coach Alfred Schreuder appeared to accuse Antony of being money-motivated as Manchester United close in on a deal to sign the Brazilian.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, United are edging closer to completing the signing of the 22-year-old. The club saw a fresh bid for Antony knocked back on Friday but are confident of completing a deal that could cost close to €100million (£84.66m).
Antony was left out of the Ajax squad that beat FC Utrecht 2-0 on Sunday. He also missed last weekend's clash with Sparta Rotterdam after failing to train on Friday and Saturday in the build-up to the match, with several reports suggesting that he had chosen to go on 'strike'.
