Manchester United Antony Files Lawsuit Against Ajax Over Unpaid Wages

Manchester United winger, Antony is suing his former club, Ajax after the Amsterdam side withheld “hundreds of thousands of euros” from the Brazilian’s wages before his big Premier League move.

Antony transferred from Ajax to Manchester United in August 2022 but missed multiple training sessions. He also intentionally skipped the Eredivisie match against Sparta Rotterdam to protest Ajax’s high demands during negotiations with the former Premier League champions.

The winger, who has only managed to find the score 12 times since moving to Manchester, subsequently got fined three times, amounting to a total of “several hundreds of thousands of euros”, according to both Voetbal International and Algemeen Dagblad.

This week, more than two years after his €95 million transfer to England, Antony and his lawyer initiated arbitration proceedings against Ajax, seeking the return of the substantial wages that have been withheld by the 36-time Dutch champions. A decision is anticipated within a month.
