United have had bids of €80m and €90m rejected by Ajax — the latest on Friday — but the Dutch side have indicated they are willing to accept an offer of close to €99m.
Sources have told ESPN the deal is not done, but a breakthrough in negotiations has significantly increased the likelihood of an agreement being reached in the remaining days of the window.
Antony has made it clear he wants to leave Ajax to be reunited with his former manager Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
