MANCHESTER UNITED fans are buzzing about the potential arrival of Ajax star Antony – and have already come up with an ingenious name for their new-look frontline.
The Red Devils are closing in on an £84million deal for the 22-year-old Brazilian – who they have been targeting all summer.
And if he does arrive at Old Trafford then he could start alongside Anthony Martial and Anthony Elanga.
This has led to a superb post on social media about the potential of the trio playing together.
It read: “If we sign Antony we can start Anthony Elanga, Anthony Martial and Antony and call it Antonthree.”
In response, one fan called for them to come up against Arsenal’s trio of Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
They said: “The battle against the Gabriels will be lit.”
Another supporter brilliantly labelled United’s refreshed forward line the “A-Team”.
While one composed some commentary which could take place if he was to play alongside Elanga and Martial.
They said: “Antony passes to Antony who takes the shot and it is blocked by the keeper but Antony is there to tap in the rebound.”

Antony would become United’s fifth signing of the window – with Erik ten Hag having already brought in Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Casemiro.
He would bolster the club’s attacking options, boasting a record of 24 goals and 22 assists in 82 appearances for Ajax.
If United miss out on Antony, they have been linked with three alternative options.
Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic, PSV star Cody Gakpo and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Marcus Thuram are all being monitored by Ten Hag’s men.
