Pundit issues ‘horrific’ Man United claim amid ‘utterly ludicrous’ Antony update
The current Man United transfer strategy is an “utter, utter mess”.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
According to the Daily Mirror (18 August), Man United have seen a £67.6million bid for long-term target Antony rejected by Ajax as they desperately search for attacking reinforcements.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano updated on Friday (19 August), claiming the Old Trafford club “are not giving up” on the Brazil international as they feel he “really wants” the move.
The winger, who is under contract until June 2025, scored 12 goals in 33 games last term and has started the new campaign with two goals in three outings.
Wenham has been left baffled by the club’s actions this summer.
“Pure panic, it’s an absolute mess,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“It’s been a mess ever since Ten Hag walked in. At the start of the window it was clear they wanted Timber, De Jong and Nunez, they didn’t get any of them.
“Instead they are now putting in utterly ludicrous bids for Antony. What is even more ludicrous is Ajax turning that reported offer down.
“Ajax held Tottenham over hot coals for months to get the money for Bergwijn, now they are turning bids like that down?
“I don’t understand that, I would have bitten their hand off. Man United are just an utter, utter mess at the moment.
“Martinez doesn’t look suited to the Premier League at all and Varane can’t get a game. They are a shambles.
“Liverpool are going to beat them on Monday so that will be three losses from three.
“Ten Hag was another horrific managerial appointment and he will be the first manager sacked this season.”
