Ajax would be willing to sell Edson Alvarez to Manchester United this summer if the Red Devils were willing to go through the Mexican international, reports say. Erik ten Hag has a fantastic effort at goal.
United are still interested in landing winger Antony after club officials arrive in Amsterdam to begin work on a deal.
However, Ajax’s message is clear: they will only sell if an irresistible offer hits the table.
As it stands, United are willing to pay £ 40m for the Brazilian, but Ajax value him closer to £ 60m.
However, they believe it is worth up to 70 million euros (£ 69), but understand that such a high bid is unlikely.

Ten Hag has yet to make any progress on new signings since arriving at Old Trafford.
He has left the club to take over the business while recharging his holiday batteries in Ibiza with his family.

Football director John Murtough has been handling the negotiations in the background, but there is a feeling that United will not do everything possible for other goals until De Jong crosses the line.
There is a confident confidence that he will become a United player at the end of the transfer window.
Ajax’s position on who they want to sell also affects Arsenal and their search for Lisandro Martínez.
Mikel Arteta has already offered £ 25m for the center, but Ajax are not ready to part with the Argentine.
