The club's recruitment and transfer policy has been heavily criticised in recent years with the department widely-expected to be overhauled 🛡 once Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment in United is confirmed.

Antony joined in last year's summer transfer window as he was reunited 🛡 with former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag at the 13-time Premier League champions.
