Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has told the board that he needs more options in attack.
He has called on the club’s decision makers to sign another forward before the transfer window closes.
Ten Hag has been linked with Antony who plays for his former club, Ajax, and it is claimed the player’s agent, Junior Pedroso, was in Manchester for talks on Thursday.
When asked about the importance of signing another forward, Ten Hag said: “I think it’s vital if you want to get success, the season is really long.
“That is a reason, but also the number of games. You need more options in offence. But we also have still time to fill that in.
“We signed (Christian) Eriksen for the midfield, we are really happy with that. I am really happy with the performance of the midfield and offence at this moment.
“But I also know this season, a lot of games, World Cup, so we need more options.
“We have a good team, we need a good squad to get the right results at the end of the season.”
