Information reaching us on Antony transfer news confirms the winger arrived at Old Trafford in the early hours of today.

Antony has completed his medical today at Old Trafford in readiness for his move to Manchester United, and the club is set to announce him today, August 30, 2022. 

Antony Transfer News

Today, Antony will be introduced as Man Utd’s sixth summer acquisition.

All summer, Manchester United FC has been looking for a winger. Antony has been Erik ten Hag’s top priority since his arrival at the club.

Ten Hag and Antony, have had a successful working relationship at Ajax, and hope to be reunited at Old Trafford this summer.

Back and forth has been the order of Antony’s transfer, as it has taken longer than expected to land the veteran winger at United. It appeared that a settlement was highly likely in one week. The following felt like there was no chance of an Antony maneuver succeeding. mostly as a result of Ajax’s asking price.

Where credit is due, United has consistently maintained its confidence. I suppose the club always knew they would eventually be inclined to accede to Ajax’s demands.

Fabrizo Romano Announced Antony Medical

Fabrizio Romano delivered amazing news to us in the early hours of today via his social media handle. After successfully completing his medicals, Antony will be revealed today. The signing of the Brazilian will make United’s summer roster up to five players.

Antony, who is 22 years old, has more than contributed to pushing this decision through. The Brazil international deserves praise for that. He put in an official transfer request and refused to participate in practices or games. That demonstrates his need to reunite with Ten Hag and how desperate he is to do so.

Even while it appears that United will end up paying more than they had originally planned to for the transfer price, it was absolutely necessary.

The team is in severe need of at least one new winger. possibly two. Being accustomed to the Ten Hag method of play, Antony is someone who can come right into the side. If the move is completed in time, probably, we might even see him play against Leicester City on Thursday.

Has Manchester United signed Antony?

According to sources that spoke to 90minsoccer, Manchester United and Ajax have reached an agreement on a price for the signing of winger Antony.

When the deal is sealed, the winger will rank as United’s 2nd most expensive player ever, with a total value of €95 million plus an additional €5 million in add-ons. The arrangement is contingent on a medical exam and the UK’s visa application process.

Antony is about to agree to a 5-year contract with an additional year’s option.

Since he joined the club in 2020, Antony has scored 18 goals in 57 appearances for Ajax.
This summer, Ten Hag has been eager to strengthen his attacking line, especially in light of Anthony Martial’s Achilles injury.

Due to a hamstring injury received during pre-season, the France international missed the first two games of the season.

After the signing of Christian Eriksen,  Tyrell Malacia, and Casemiro, Antony will be United’s fifth summer addition.

The Brazilian winger, who has nine caps, scored 12 goals in 33 outings for Ajax last year.

2020 saw him go from Sao Paulo to Amsterdam for an initial €15 million payment.

Although United was still in negotiations with the Dutch champions, the 22-year-old was left out of the Ajax team for their 1-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam last weekend and did not play against Utrecht on Sunday.

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

 Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangers’ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park — and he didn’t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end — a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done — pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesn’t happen every day, and it’s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtis’ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry — showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celtic’s Japanese Duo

Published

“Are Celtic’s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatate”

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the team’s key Japanese players — Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walker’s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they don’t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walker’s view stems from both men’s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston — and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda — who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season — has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walker’s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maeda’s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away — only for Celtic to block it — and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaign’s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

 The Bigger Picture

Celtic’s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walker’s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward — and who’s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
