Manchester United offered the chance to sign Real Madrid winger as alternative to Antony
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is looking to bolster his attacking options before the transfer window closes and Antony, his former player at Ajax, is his top target.
However, Ajax are reluctant to let the Brazilian winger leave and are demanding around €100million for the 22 year old forward.
According to The Telegraph via Metro, Manchester United have been offered a cheaper alternative as Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio has been made available for €30m (£25.3m).
Asensio has just one year left on his Real Madrid contract and the Spanish club would rather secure a transfer fee for him this summer, rather than see him leave on a free next year.
The report also adds that Manchester United were made aware of the availability of the Spain international before signing Casemiro.
