Manchester United<\/a> forward Antony<\/a> has taken his former club Ajax<\/a> to court, claiming that they unlawfully fined him a large amount of money before his move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The Brazil international made a \u00a385m switch from the Dutch giants to the Red Devils in 2022.<\/p>\n

There was a fairly lengthy build-up to the deal being done and the season had already started by the time Antony made his move.<\/p>\n

As negotiations went on, the winger became frustrated with how long they were taken and missed training sessions, with Ajax fining him for being absent without the club’s consent.<\/p>\n

The transfer was completed, with Manchester United announcing his arrival on 1 September, with Ajax taking the fines out of his final pay packet.<\/p>\n

Antony is now suing Ajax for ‘unlawful’ behaviour, according to Dutch publication AD, with reports suggesting the fines were worth ‘a few hundred thousand euros’.<\/p>\n

The case has already started, with the hearing beginning on Monday after Antony had first contracted an arbitration committee six months ago.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian made an immediate impact after his big-money move to the Premier League, scoring on his debut in a 3-1 win over Arsenal.<\/p>\n

He scored again in defeat to Manchester City and a victory over Everton, with his tally standing on an encouraging three goals in his first six appearances for the club.<\/p>\n

Things went quite spectacularly downhill from there, though, falling out of favour under previous manager Erik ten Hag and remaining so under the current boss Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n

Last season saw him make 29 Premier League appearances and score just once in the top flight and he is yet to start a league game this season, making six substitute appearances.<\/p>\n

His only goal this campaign came in a 7-0 thrashing of Barnsley in the League Cup.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old signed a contract until 2027 when he arrived from Ajax, with the club holding an option to extend it by a further year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
