In fact, it was precisely due to the urgency of Manchester United, which added to the deadline allowed to sign, which resulted in the very high price finally paid for the young talent and future star of Brazil.

From the moment the signing was finalized, negative comments have not stopped coming out from within the Ajax institution, from players to managers and even some assistant coaches. Ajax's sports director, Gerry Hamstra, did not hide his discomfort at the tempos with which Antony's transfer was forged.

What did Gerry Hamstra say?

"Manchester United's timing was very bad. The last days (of the market) became even more hectic after Ajax went through a major team rebuild after the departure of many top players (Lisandro or Haller)", he answered in an interview for ‘De Telegraaf’.
