Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder FURIOUS with Antony's impending transfer to Man United
Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder is furious that Antony is closing in on a move to Manchester United and says that "everything is about money".
The current Eredivisie champions were in league action on Sunday afternoon.
Goals from Steven Bergwijn and Brian Brobbey were the difference as they came out 2-0 victors against Utrecht.
Antony was not in the matchday squad for Schreuder's side.

The Brazilian did not play in the prior game either, after Ajax rejected United's €90 million bid for the player.
He refused to train and spoke exclusively to Fabrizio Romano, where he detailed his wish to leave the Amsterdam-based club.
Since then, reports have broke that an agreement is close for the 22-year-old to move to Old Trafford for a deal worth up to €100 million.
When asked about the situation following his team's win on Sunday afternoon, Schreuder was less than pleased.
He cited that financials are taking over the game, and believes it is not a good thing.
The manager also made sure to mention that he is not happy with this move.
"Nowadays, everything is about money. I find this sad, but this is our world," he told ESPN.
"It's very sad and I don't approve that these things are happening at us."
When speaking to Fabrizio Romano, Antony detailed his reasoning for wanting to move on with his career.
"I was very happy here. I won titles, made friends and build part of my career. but now I reinforce that I am ready and full of motivation to follow my story and my dreams,
"People need to listen and understand my motivation which moves me towards happiness. I need to continue performing at the highest level."
The forward will join Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga as forward options; Cristiano Ronaldo, too, if he remains at the club.
There are many different ways that Erik ten Hag could set his front line up once the Brazilian is signed.
