As he nears a move to Man United, Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder has criticized Antony for his “weird” and “unprofessional” attitude.
The 22-year-old is about to finalize a €100 million (£84.4 million) transfer to Man United. He paid a visit to the team’s Carrington training facility on Monday.
The transfer is expected to be completed well before Thursday night’s 11:59 p.m. deadline.

What Did Shreuder Say About Antony?
“If you’re Ajax, it’s just bad that this happens. I’ve talked about it with him. If you’re disappointed for a day or two, I understand, but at some point you’re a professional.
“Then I said: ‘I will continue with the guys who are there’. At a certain point you get angry about it, like… what are we doing? Looking at the total picture, that frustrates you as a trainer, but also how you stand in the world.
“Then I think, ‘you’re just a f*cking player, you just have to do your thing’. But my personal feeling is that it’s just bad,” he told Ziggo Sport.
Pressed on whether Ajax could issue Antony with a fine for his actions, Schreuder replied: “Absolutely. I don’t think it’s good that it’s possible within our club.
