Manchester United target Antony has publicly pleaded with current club Ajax to let him leave for the Red Devils.

90min understands the Dutch champions rejected a €90m bid from United on Friday as it is still roughly €2m short of their asking price. The winger has attempted to force a move by skipping training sessions and is not currently working with the first team.

Antony, speaking in an interview with Fabrizio Romano, has given the world his tale of events in this saga and is hopeful that Ajax will green-light an exit.

"Since February of this year, my agents came to Amsterdam to inform Ajax of my desire to leave the club to face a new challenge, and that some of the interested clubs would arrive and with them a great offer," the Brazilian said.

"In June of this year, I interrupted my vacation and came personally to inform the managers of Ajax, including the new coach, about my wish to leave and that they should consider this possibility. Because when I started in Amsterdam, it was a project for two seasons.
