When asked if he could give fans of the Dutch giants any guarantees that he would still be an Ajax player when the transfer window closes at the end of the month, he was quoted to have said: He answered: “No, to be perfectly honest, I can't.''

“What I can say is that I want to come to the right decision with my family, business partners and Ajax, which is good for everyone.

“In the end, God determines my future. “If we all decide that I will stay here, then I know that this is the best thing for me and the club. It’s not like I have to leave.'' Antony added.

“I wear the shirt with pride and from day one I feel at home.

“Now I am focusing on playing football and have put all other matters in the hands of my agents and my brother. They will advise me on what is best.”

“I am very happy at Ajax, I have a contract until the summer of 2025 and I will give everything for this beautiful club for every second.'' he submitted in an interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf&nbsp;via <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/antony-ajax-man-utd-transfer-27788099">The Mirror.</a>
