The player will put pen to paper on a five-year deal until 2027 with an option to extend for a further year.

This comes after United agreed a €100million fee with Ajax for Antony, who went on strike to force the transfer.

“Antony to Manchester United, here we go! Agreement in principle with Ajax, €100m fee. Contract until June 2027 with option until 2028. To be signed tomorrow.

“Contracts being prepared, it’s Eredivisie historical record fee — Antony will be in Manchester next week,” transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, tweeted late on Sunday.

Antony would become United’s fifth summer signing following the arrivals of Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.
