Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand have been slammed as having “no shame” during their analysis of transfer target Antony.The Red Devils reportedly saw an approximate £76.3million offer for the Brazilian forward snubbed by his club Ajax.

Erik ten Hag is keen on a reunion with the tricky 22-year-old. However, they are facing a formidable stumbling block in Ajax’s reluctance to part with Antony, who still has three years left on his contract.Ten Hag has already signed Lisandro Martinez from his former club, but he is still looking to add additional firepower into his frontline.

Ferdinand’s views also reflected those of Scholes, saying the Dutch giants should do the “right thing” and allow Antony to depart. “If you look at it from a player’s perspective, I would be sitting there saying ‘well it should be ticking all the right boxes for Ajax, in terms of the money, the size of the fee, and the recruitment they could bolster their squad with’.“He’s given them a couple of good years there, [and] won things as well, so I would sit there as a player and think ‘you’d like to think they would do the right thing and let me go at that point’.” However, a large portion of the football world does not agree with Ferdinand and Scholes’ comments.“Honestly all these Utd ex players got no shame at all trying to talk down a club for not selling players.
