MANCHESTER UNITED were warned about overpaying for Antony TWO DAYS before completing a deal for the winger.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils signed Antony in a huge \u00a386million transfer from Ajax in August 2022.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old has since struggled to find his feet at Old Trafford, scoring eight goals and providing just three assists in 55 appearances.<\/p>\n
But before he made the move, former Holland boss Bert van Marwijk warned United officials that they were significantly overpaying for the Brazilian's signature.<\/p>\n
In a column for Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf – published just a couple if days before the transfer was completed – Van Marwijk wrote: "Ajax did well to take \u20ac100million (\u00a386m) from Manchester United.<\/p>\n
"It is the absolute top price and that amount the club would never have received in the future for Antony.<\/p>\n
