Why are Man United paying so much for Antony? Ajax star's €100 ... (Sporting News)

Manchester United dishing out a gargantuan €100 million for Ajax winger Antony proves that not all massive transfer fees are directly comparable.

For a club already in massive debt thanks to the Glazer ownership, having just spent big money to acquire Casemiro from Real Madrid, this kind of deal comes with considerable downside. Is Antony guaranteed to be a success at Manchester United simply because they paid lots of money for him? It's likely that had United not been interested, and another club with less financial flexibility were in talks, Ajax would negotiate within the interested club's means if they were indeed motivated to make a sale. While Antony was always one of manager Ten Hag's long-term targets, their decision to pursue a deal so late in the window meant they were forced to capitulate to Ajax's demands. Piggybacking on the club's need to bring in attacking talent, the Glazer family's approval rating among Manchester United fans is near the floor. This was directly followed by a massive increase in transfer market activity, with Casemiro acquired the very same day as protests rang outside Old Trafford, and Antony's capture comes just a week later. If the Dutch side didn't receive a bid worthy of their attention, they could keep Antony at the club with little long-term harm, and plenty of time still left to negotiate a satisfactory transfer fee at a later date. The Red Devils were left floundering for a host of players in the summer transfer window, missing out on key targets such as Frenkie de Jong, Christopher Nkunku, and many others linked in the press. One key to determining a player's transfer fee is his contract with the selling club. As this desperation grew, Man United lost negotiating leverage as Ajax could see how much the club needed to bring in reinforcements to improve the side. Those answers will come at a later date, but the following information can at least provide immediate clarity as to why Man United felt it worth capitulating to Ajax's demands. The Premier League club, desperate for a revival under Erik ten Hag, are in rebuild mode.

Leicester City v Manchester United: Premier League – live! (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will the Foxes escape the bottom of the table or can United continue their recent improvement? Join Rob Smyth.

A high-profile win against an improving but still eminently beatable Manchester United would reduce the noise and lift Leicester off the bottom of the table. At his best, he’s fine – I thought he was player of the match in the Europa League final, for example. They have had vile luck with injuries over the last couple of years, and their net spend since Rodgers took over in 2019 is among the lowest in the league. A year ago, Brendan Rodgers was the same odds as Erik ten Hag to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Manchester United manager. I know he’s not the best player in the world, I know he occasionally behaves like a 25-year-old, but I bloody love James Maddison. Eventually the ball was fed into Eriksen, who dummied to go across goal and then dragged a shot past the near post. 13 min “Rob,” says Rod Wooden, “never mind about Ronaldo being on the bench against Norwich, he would probably be only a substitute for Norwich at the moment. A transfer request when he was left out at home to Norwich? “I imagine he was a bit surprised that Champions League clubs were not lining up to get him.” Dalot collected a Leicester goalkick and flipped the ball down the right to Fernandes. 18 min Maddison is starting to impose his personality on the game. I’m sorry but it is really getting on my nerves and not so much the decisions but time which just shows incompetence.”

Talking points from the East Midlands (Manchester United)

A second 1-0 win on the road in the space of five days elevated Manchester United to fifth in the Premier League table, after five games.

It’s now three wins in a row in the league for the Reds: the first time since December 2021 that’s happened and the first time in a year that we’ve managed back-to-back top-flight away victories. After a soporific first 45 minutes in the home terraces, that one certainly helped perk up Foxes fans and the home side then grew into the game. Our no.14 is a constant option in possession and a career playing as a no.10 means he has the ability to receive the ball on the half-turn and pick out a wide range of passes. The Leicester no.9 may be 35 years old now, but he can still cause problems with his pace and had scored in this fixture four times previously. An early contender for our next Goal of the Month prize? Unfortunately, they weren’t registered in time to face the Foxes but shortly after kick-off they shared posts on social media watching BT Sport’s coverage of the game from home.

United did not help their cause by conceding a series of cheap free-kicks as Ten Hag turned to his bench and Casemiro, a clear indication of United’s desire to shore up their midfield. To their credit, it took Leicester just five minutes of the second half to finally give their fans something to cheer about as Kieran Dewsbury-Hall broke forward and was hauled down by Lisandro Martinez. It was not hard to see how Leicester had managed to collect just one point from their opening four games and equally difficult to envisage how Rodgers was going to improve matters, either on the night or longer term.

Maddison's curling 25-yard free-kick was tipped away by De Gea to prevent it from nestling in the top corner.

A couple of touches between Dalot, Fernandes and Rashford were all that was required for Sancho to find himself in space and slot home with complete composure, for his second goal of the season. It was a confident and self-assured first-half from the Reds, but Leicester quickly grew into the game, rousing their home fans. David De Gea saved well from James Maddison's free-kick after the break, but United had the better opportunities to double our lead and were comfortable in closing out the win, which takes us up to fifth in the top-flight table.

Every word from Mikel's pre-Man Utd presser | Press conference ... (Arsenal.com)

Hear from the boss as he chats about team news, the transfer window and the trip to Old Trafford.

That is the only reason why we are here, and we have to continue to do that. We have obviously tried to get everything done that we can, and sometimes you have to get the right balance. Yesterday it was a real possibility and we tried, but then we kept the decision to say that it has to be the right player for the team and for the club. I think we have learned a lot from that and there's still the players that we have to get out. We have gone through things like that when we hadn’t won at Stamford Bridge for 20 or something years, but you need to believe that you will do that. We have to go into the market and the other teams and coaches are going to tell you how good you are, what your value is and what you’ve done. The attitude of the player is there and he’s really disappointed to be out again as you can imagine, and the team needs him when he’s back. He called me really late last night and it was more of a conversation that we used to have when we were teammates and really good friends. There is nothing else we can do, we have an academy as well that we have to use, and we’ll try to utilise the players in the best possible way. Then we had to react in the market and we tried, but at the end of the day we have to bring in the player that we feel is right for the team and for the club and we didn’t manage to do that. I think that there have been moments when the history and the media were talking about it, and the special rivalry between certain players built a certain momentum into it. No, we had a lot of things still to do in the squad, you see the amount of departures, compared to the number we have recruited.

Every word from Ten Hag's press conference (Manchester United)

Read a full transcript - and watch the video - after Erik ten Hag briefed the media for Manchester United's home game against Arsenal.

We will pick the right XI to start but as you see, it’s not only a team, we have a squad and also, today, the subs who came on did really well so I’m happy with that. “No, it is an option but also, I have to think, I have seen Arsenal, a tough opponent, they have started really well as we all know in the season and you can see there is a team who are [a] long [time] together, with a coach who brings his philosophy in the team. “I think it’s about formation, about getting and creating lines and then making the right decisions.

Will Antony & Casemiro start for Man Utd vs Arsenal? Ten Hag ... (Goal.com)

Manchester United summer signings Antony and Casemiro could be included from the start when the Red Devils play host to Arsenal on Sunday.

But after being backed in the market with the signings of Antony and Casemiro, in particular, he will be expected to stamp his impression on the club going forward. Arsenal could be the first time the Dutchman gets to play all of his outfield signings at once this season. The Brazil forward has been given clearance to play - but Ten Hag will assess his fitness, along with [fellow countryman Casemiro](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kleberson-fred-eight-brazilians-man-utd-antony-transfer-talk/bltde128cbe042a84fb), before making any selection decisions.

Big Weekend: Man Utd v Arsenal, Chelsea, Erling Haaland, Frank ... (Football365.com)

Arsenal may actually be tested, Haaland could force Gerrard's early retirement and Klopp could get deliciously angry at Lampard and Everton...

Vincent Kompany has transformed Burnley into possession-hungry entertainers in double quick time and momentum may be starting to build after two wins on the bounce. It’s the clean sheets that are the basis of Tuchel’s success at Chelsea; they remain the key. Raheem Sterling looks sharp and now has three goals in two games, Marc Cucurella seems like a solid, more composed alternative to Ben Chilwell. And how far away from being a good team are this group of good Manchester United players? There was a point, about two weeks ago, when it was fair to suggest Arsenal would have to wait until October, eight games into the Premier League season, before being given a true test of what we are now obliged to call their title credentials. Even Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t seem overly annoyed at having to come off the bench.
