The Brazilian international moved to United in a high-profile \u00a385m deal, but the negotiations were drawn out, leaving Antony frustrated. During the transfer saga, he reportedly missed training sessions and matches, prompting Ajax to fine him for absenteeism.<\/p>\n

The fines, reportedly amounting to several hundred thousand euros, were deducted from his wages, even after the deal was finalized. Antony has since contested the fines, bringing the matter to the arbitration committee of the Dutch football association.<\/p>\n

The hearings are going on near Utrecht, with the player seeking restitution for what he claims was \u201cunlawful\u201d behavior by Ajax. According to Dutch outlet AD, Antony first approached the committee six months ago.<\/p>\n

Ajax’s former manager, Alfred Schreuder, addressed the situation at the time, stating: \u201cI only want players who are fully focused on Ajax. We have talked about it, and I think it is a difficult situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Antony\u2019s career at Manchester United has been inconsistent since his move. While he made a promising start, scoring on his debut against Arsenal in a 3-1 win, his form has faltered.<\/p>\n

Across three seasons, he has managed just 12 goals in all competitions, with only one coming this season in a League Cup match against Barnsley. The arbitration committee\u2019s decision is expected within a month.<\/p>\n
